Between 1906 and 1910, Chagall lived and studied art in St. Petersberg. ‘Nor did I feel any elation when I left Witebsk for Petersberg.  I knew I had to leave.  I found it difficult to define exactly what I wanted.’ 

from ‘My Life’ by Chagall.

 

The momentum gathers in preparation for the Days of Awe and culminates at Sukkot when we are commanded to ‘be altogether happy.’  Deut. 16:15
