חג סוכות שמח
Wishing everybody a very joyful Sukkot, May Your home be blessed with happiness and joy.
Chag Sameach and Happy Holiday to us all
We will be offline until Saturday night!
I believe that the experience of leaving the protection of a house and entering the exposure of the succah is a way of taming our fear of the unknown. It says: We have been here before. We are all travellers on a journey. The Divine Presence is with us. We need not be afraid. That is a source of the resilience we need in our interconnected, hazardous, radically uncertain world.
Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks zt"l, "Radical Uncertainty" (Emor, Finding Faith, Covenant & Conversation)
Succah 56b #HadranAlachMasechetSuccah
Succot is a Couple of Days Away!
Every year, in the days after Yom Kippur, the rush is on to get the succah built. This year? We got our time down to just a couple of hours!
I may not have a fresh video for Succot this year, but this one’s an oldie-but-goodie!
Enjoy!
