Modern Day Tabernacle: A streamlined "unistrut" tabernacle, build by University students, is placed before the Beth Israel Center this week as part of the Jewish holiday, the Feast of the Tabernacles. The tabernacle or "sukkah" commemorates the huts in which the Jews lived on their flight from Egypt. As the holiday is also a harvest festival akin to the Christian Thanksgiving, three young congregation members hold four fruits symbolic of the observance. Jeffrey Ingberg (left), 11, had the lulav, or palm branch, to which are attached parts of the myrtle and a willow. His sister, Ricki Sue, 5 1/2, holds a citron, while another brother, Paul, looks on. The children live at 2201 Vinewood Blvd.
