Sukkot 5784: ”Sukkot: The Paradigm of Universal Torah Ideals” (2/3) with Rabbi Jonathan Ziring

Around the Calendar with Drisha

Often in Elul, Sukkot is forgotten. We focus on the High Holidays but forget that Sukkot comes immediately after. There are several unique rules that characterize the laws of Sukkot, such as mere discomfort exempting one from living in the Sukkah and the heightened requirements for beauty in the Arba Minim. We will explore whether these laws are unique to Sukkot or act as paradigms of broader Torah values.
