 | Gimme Shelter! Sukkot Is The Time When We Dwell In Booths!
|
|
When the Jewish people left Egypt, they lived in booths or sukkot. They didn't provide much protection, but HaShem did! Today, we also leave our warm homes for 7 days and live in simple huts. Like our Jewish ancestors, we learn to trust in HaShem and to recognize all the blessings we have.
- We also hold a palm branch, myrtle, willow, and a citron (Esrog) together and make a blessing. These four species symbolize different types of Jews. The mitzvah teaches us the importance of Jewish unity!
