Once upon a time, in the land of Nigeria, there lived a wise old tortoise named TORT. He was proud of his ancestor who had passed down many valuable traditions to him. One of these traditions was celebrating Sukkoth, a special holiday for the Jewish community. TORT learned that in Israel, Sukkoth was celebrated in the synagogue with prayers and feasts.
TORT decided to bring this tradition to Nigeria and built a small synagogue in his village. Every year, he and his friends would gather to celebrate Sukkoth and share a meal of yam and other delicious foods.
TORT became known as the keeper of this important tradition and proudly passed it down to his descendants. The story of TORT and Sukkoth spread throughout Nigeria and became a beloved part of their heritage.
