[Teachldsseminary] [10]Re: Teach: Sukkot

[Kim Malacko]

Are you talking about Messianic Jews?  Because anything done in the ancient 
temple would not have been for a "second coming" and not for anyone named 
Christ.  And certainly nothing current would signify a second coming, since 
they are still waiting for the first one.
Maybe this is something they do for Shemini Atzeret or Simkhat Torah?  Where 
are you getting your information from,  I'm intrigued.  And would love to 
include this as well, if I can find a good reference.  Thanks.
Kim
