中秋節 X 住棚節 千年文化再度相遇
9月29日中秋姐傍晚，猶太朋友、原住民朋友、漢人朋友們陸續抵達四四南村，現場氣氛溫馨歡樂，有些人在預備、有些人熱絡打招呼，好像部落豐年祭一樣，各方正如火如荼預備接下來的開幕慶典。
Melody黃友聞首先以「金色耶路撒冷」為5784住棚節慶典揭開序幕，這首猶太朋友們耳熟能詳的歌曲，重新以中文詮釋卻意外風情十足、毫無違和感。接著Melody以這首原創歌曲「Baruch Atah Adonai」點燃婚宴慶典氛圍，首先為兩邊搭起了友誼的橋樑。
遠從新竹山光教會、領軍12位弟兄姊妹特別北上，同時也是文馨獎藝術家得主得—安力牧師，吟唱泰雅族母語歌感謝上帝，為慶典注入喚醒靈魂般的精神。
慶典最高峰邀請猶太、原住民、漢族三族群代表，分別為眾人、為台灣祝禱祈福後，倒入代表各族群的糯米、小米、鷹嘴豆，現場搗成麻糬，搭配充滿原住民風味的鳳梨馬告水，同時吟唱泰雅族母語歌迴盪全場，為的上帝獻上最美的文化祭。
願今年這個別具意義的住棚、中秋雙節慶，融合了代表原住民、猶太與華人族群的文化能量，在台灣見證這個充滿豐沛文化力的歷史時刻，向世界唱出一首象徵和平的祈願之歌。

"2023: Sukkot and the Mid-Autumn Festival in Taiwan"
This year we are delighted to witness the convergence of two important cultural celebrations — Mid-Autumn festival and the Sukkot Festival! Both festivals share a common culture of thanksgiving for the faithful providence of God, and joyful gatherings of family and friends to celebrate the harvest!
Sukkot — one of the three pilgrimage festivals of Israel — pays homage to a time when God guided their ancestors from Egypt through the wilderness towards the Promised Land. Temporary abodes known as "sukkahs" are erected for seven days of outdoor living, where families eat, drink, sleep, sing, and pray within make-shift tabernacles under the canvas of a starry sky.
It is a holiday where people cherish quality time with family and friends, a time for thanksgiving, a time to embrace the fragility of life and nature, and a time to contemplate the transience of earth and the hope of an eternal heavenly future!
As the synchronization of Lunar and Jewish calendars have led to Mid-Autumn and Sukkot festivals being celebrated at the same time this year, we cherish the cultural confluence as well as the common values of harmony, unity and gratitude.
With representation from the Indigenous, Jewish and Chinese communities living in Taiwan, may this multi-cultural and multi-ethnic celebration of Sukkot and the Mid-Autumn Festival serenade the world with a song of peace, and be a testament to our rich cultural and historical tapestry that embraces all humanity!
