Erev sukkos I had water in my basement. It seems that the culprit is some cracks in the concrete next to one of the basement windows. What's the best way to seal that up? Cement? Caulking?

I'm not an expert but from my experience concrete is not waterproof so the fix for this is to prevent the water from pooling around the concrete on the outside of the house. The dirt should be sloped away from the house and all gutter downspouts need to dump the water away from the house.
