Sukkah: Living in Joy

“Live in temporary shelters for seven days: All native-born Israelites are to live in such shelters” – Leviticus 23:42

In this month’s Limmud we will explore the secrets of the sukkah and explain how living in this rickety shelter can teach us about what it means to live in joy.

We will discover what really brings a person happiness and what qualifies as mere illusions devoid of true joy.

Living in the sukkah, we don’t have much in the way of “creature comforts,” but we have everything that matters: family, friends, a nurturing meal, the Word of God and the presence of God.
