Shlomit is building a sukkah
Full of light and greenery
That's why today she's so busy.

But it's not simply a sukkah
Full of light and greenery -
Shlomit is building a sukkah of peace ("sukkat shalom").

She will not forget to lay out
The lulav and the myrtle leaves (hadasim),
A branch of green willow.

A pomegranate within its leaves,
And all the fruits of autumn,
With its fragrance of orange groves.

And when Shlomit says
Look! It's already finished!
Suddenly something wondrous will happen:

All the neighbors will come,
It will be a swarm -
And there will be room for everyone!

Then, through the roof of branches,
With a bright glow
as though it were a diamond
The twinkle of a star will shine,

-Shalom, wondrous sukkah,
How fine and how pleasing it is -
That Shlomit built a sukkah of peace.
