The JTA reports, “A sukkah near Wrigley Field failed to combine holiday celebrations with a Chicago Cubs series victory. Chabad-Lubavitch of Illinois advertised its sukkah near the stadium with a sign reading, ‘Do a Mitzvah and Help The Cubs,’ hoping sukkah-goers could mark simultaneously the mitzvah of celebrating the holiday with the Cubs trip to their first World Series since 1945. But the Cubs’ opponents, the Florida Marlins, foiled the plans, defeating the Cubs on the strength of an eighth-inning rally Tuesday night. Game 7 will be played in Chicago on Wednesday night.”

The dunce who botched last night’s game, by the way, may very well be Jewish.
