supposed to be one succah or many? in the story, the group of houses shared one succah. I am just asking is that correct? I thought it was a mitzvah for each Jew to build his own succah. I am especially asking also because you are saying that ultimately, with Moshiach, Hashem will enwrap us all in one big succah - so the idea of this unity seems to lend itself to one succah not many individual succot.
