Jewish History

On December 25, 1369 (5129), King Frederick III of Sicily ordered all Jews to wear a badge indicating their heritage. The badge consisted of a piece of red material, not smaller than the largest royal seal; men were required to wear it under the chin, and women on the chest.

Daily Thought

Rabbi Jonah said, “The prophet Jonah ben Amitai was just another pilgrim to the Temple. He walked into the Sukkot celebration, the divine spirit rested upon him, and he became a prophet.”

The Magid of Mezritch taught:

Joy is the path to the divine.

And Sukkot is a time for joy.

A joy that can lift everyone to the highest heights, regardless of where they stand right now.

Ohr Torah, siman 431.​
