Sukkot - 2023

Chevre, this shabbat again does not have a parsha, it’s Chag Sukkot (סֻכּוֹת). During the Chag, we leave our homes and do most of our activities in the Succah, a temporary booth that we build for the holiday. Our Succah also needs to be dog-proof so that our dogs don’t escape and terrorize the neighbors looking for yummy food. There are many kabalistic ideas around the Succah, I often think about the idea that we exit the comfortable, sturdy dwellings of our homes and enter the flimsy Succah to show trust (Emuna) in the Teshuva (Repentance) we have done over the past month and a half.
