Building My Sukkah || Mayim Bialik

Hey friends! Mayim Bialik here from The Big Bang Theory and #Blossom. Sukkot ( a weeklong jewish holiday after Yom Kippur) is upon us, and part of the tradition during this time is to build an outdoor structure (Sukkah) that represents the shelter given to the jews during their 40-year-long trek through the sinai desert. This week's vlog shows you how I build my sukkah and what it looks like all done. There's time lapse and drone footage. You don't want to miss this one!

I don't have a word that defines how gorgeously simple and powerful this was. Bravo.

I know my great grandparents were Jews but at some point in our family we lost the connection to Jewish life. Though we remain believers, and I don't think I can consider my self Hebrew or a Jew, I still like to learn in memory of those great grandparents. Thank you for helping me learn more about what was part of their culture and faith.

as a jewish girl from israel i am really happy to see how connected you are to the jewish religion and it's traditions. and more than that i love that you take advantage of your status to bring up and put out the traditions and holidays in the media and how you put them in front of people in such good way and while being so confident and proud about it. it's very heart warming xoxo

You are an inspiration. I find myself tearing up in joy and wonder and power and sameness, even through our differences. Thank you for being a light in this world.

[TheoTravisOfficial]

Mayim, you are the most inspiring Jew I have ever known.

Chag Sameach! Great video. Thank you so much for being so honest about your life. My husband and I were married right before the holiday and it was painful to celebrate after we split, but because we have three children, they deserve to love the holiday as much as we once did. We celebrate because He says Build it. It doesn't hurt so much this year.

Heaven sent this is so empowering in the purest sense of the word

Absolutely beautiful Mayim. I don't know a lot about the Jewish faith, but it has always struck me as very poetic, and lovely. Thank you for this.

There is something peaceful and calming about this video. It makes me want to build something.

I finally got a chance to watch this episode. Really liking that "Amy" is taking a firmer, more confident, hand with "Sheldon". Your character is developing more _depth_ and is becoming more interesting as her confidence grows.

A jewish friend of mine just explained Yom Kippur and the idea of atonement and how the gates to the future are opened. It's such a colorful faith! Thanks for sharing something else I'd never seen before.

[bonniehyden]

I grew up Christian. Now I am Messianic. Now...I am excited by things like building a Sukkah! Now, I'm learning and I'm teaching my children why we do things like this. Your explanation, Mayim, is so beautiful! And out here, deep in the Pineywoods of E. Texas...there is a Sukkah...built by people who don't have as long a history as your people. But a people have to start somewhere don't they? I pray you and your family all HaShem's BEST blessings during this Sukkot and all the other Sukkots to come. Chag Sameach Sukkot!

Some of my favorite videos that you make are those surrounding the practice of Judaism. I appreciate the opportunity to learn more in a open, friendly, and honest way. I know the Jews are special people. I hope you’ll continue to share.

[amandasmith]

Wow! That was so beautiful! It really touch my heart! Thank you for sharing that. It is so great to see something beautiful come from a sharing of faith. Thank you for sharing it with me and the world.
