The succah commemorates the Clouds of Glory which surrounded and protected our ancestors during the forty-year desert sojourn which followed the Egyptian Exodus. Our willingness to leave the security of our homes and spend a week in a flimsy outdoor hut demonstrates our faith in G‑d and His benevolence.
The succah becomes our home. It is a mitzvah that encompasses our entire body. One merely walks into a succah and he’s fulfilled a commandment. Eat something and say a blessing, you’ve done a mitzvah. There are no restrictions as to who can sit in a succah—it is one of the great equalizers. Succos is the holiday of unity and it is the home that is the tie that binds everyone together.
We women are the keepers of our homes.
Learn about and experience the joy inherent in the beautiful Jewish holiday, which unique and special for women.
All women are invited to participate in a shiur and social with Leeba Rich. 8 PM at Congregation Toras Chaim, 7119 Bremerton Ct. There is no cost for this event.
