A sukkah is an embrace. You sit inside and G‑d is hugging you. All of you, from head to toe.
Whatever you do inside your sukkah—sip a beer, chat with a friend, answer your e‑mail, or just sleep soundly—all is transformed into a mitzvah, a secure and timeless connection with the Infinite.
And then, when you leave the sukkah to enter the world, you carry that hug with you.
All of life can become an embrace. A hug with the Infinite.
WOW! THAT IS BEAUTIFUL! Looking forward to getting that hug!! Reply
Next year, I will build one for myself.
All I have been doing tonight is thinking about what a marvelous blessing it must be to sit inside a sukkah...
Next year, for sure !!

How do you build a sukkah? Reply
Your article on Bliss was enlightening. It provoked me to search for this reality.
The sukkah sounds like the place to encounter bliss. I will welcome that embrace tonight.
Thank you

A young lady sitting in a crowded subway car began to cry as she had a difficult day at work, and didn't know what to expect when she arrived home. Tears rolling down her face no one asked her what was wrong, can I help you, or gave her a tissue to wipe her tears away. She wiped them away with her own hands. Maybe, it was GD's hands because He was the only one who knew her pain which she hide inside of her heart from the public's view. Yes, it WAS GD. GD was the only one who embraced, comforted, cared, lifted her up and freed her from dispare with the help of a few of His faithful Servants.
A sukkah is a "heartfelt embrace of Love." GD sat inside of the young lady's heart, and loved and hugged her from head to toe. Sukkot is a very meaningful Jewish Festival, but also GD's very meaningful everday "Heartfelt Love's Embrace" for the "unhoused."
