Sukkot - 2022

Chevre, tonight starts סֻכּוֹת (Sukkot). The main characteristics of this holiday is that we leave our homes and live in temporary structures called a Sukkah. We also take up the 4 Species (Etrog, Lulav, Aravah and Hadas). It’s called the Zman Simchatenu (Our Joyous Time). We have spent over a month praying and saying extra psalms for forgiveness. Now we go out and show our trust in HaShem by building a flimsy structure at the time when the weather (in Israel at least) is just starting to get cool/cold and rain is around the corner.
