Super Sukkahs

When it comes to sukkahs, there’s the plywood variety, the tarp kind or the quicko-presto pop-up type. The beauty usually comes from within. But if you want something that looks as pretty on the outside as it does on the inside, read on.

The Wedding Slinger

For a sukkah that looks like a chuppah, but is far sturdier, check out this pre-fab kit. It’ll make you want to get married all over again. It’s light and airy with sheer net panels and thin cedar beams that can easily fit on any city balcony, terrace or courtyard. It forms an eight-foot square and can fit a table seating six to eight guests. Its artful criss-cross frame wasn’t just inspired by esthetics and the mitzvah to beautify one’s sukkah, but also by mysticism, specifically the Kaballah’s Ten Sefirot, or prisms of divine energy. True to its name, sukkahsoul was designed by an architect and is easy to assemble and store. The only drawback? You won’t want to tear it down. It’s $769 for the kit, fabric sides and shipping. Decorating ideas are included in each kit, but you can also scan the site’s photo gallery for inspiration. Enter code BFRUIT and get a discount on your order. Go to: http://www.sukkahsoul.com/

The Designer Diva

These ornate fabric sukkahs are the Versaces of the tabernacle world. They’re functional (heat and cold resistant, solid and easy to assemble) and fashionable. They come in three designs—Classic (brown fabric with a vaguely Moroccan theme), Kotel (the next best thing to being in Yerushalaim) and Rich Embroidery (a colorful patchwork pattern with images of lulavs, etrogs and other Middle Eastern motifs). And they’re not just pretty to look at. Proceeds from all sales benefit those who couldn’t otherwise afford their own. So go ahead and double the mitzvah, as they say. A six by eight model goes for $654, plus $89 for shipping. Go to: http://www.designersukkahs.com/?acp=7413:

The Jet Setter

Always on the go? No need to miss out on the mitzvah. This mini and mod pop-up sukkah is perhaps the most compact model you’ll find. And it’s so cool-looking, your friends will think you’ve gone futuristic on them. Weighing only 11 pounds, 4.5 feet by 6 feet and a little more than six-feet high, it is rabbinically approved and kosher certified. It comes in a convenient carrying case, which you just might be able to stow in the overhead storage bin. But you might want to check with your hotel before breaking out this tools-free kit on your balcony. It’s $259 plus shipping for the large model. (Yes, there is an even smaller version, but it’s sold out.) Go to: http://www.popupsukkah.com
