Oooh, wow, haven’t done a good sukkah hop in YEARS. I’m not even sure my neighborhood has them anymore (I think they died with the Bnos group).
We never, EVER brought candy bags. We just walked around the neighborhood to the houses of the people who agreed to give us candy, which we always ate in the sukkah, and then ended up at the sukkah of one of the neighborhood rabbanim who told a dvar torah. It was very nice.
No idea how it’s done in Israel so can’t really comment- you just sent me on a trip down memory lane 🙂
