| Experience Unbounded Joy \ Chag HaSucot
D'var Torah: The holy "Clouds of Glory" that surrounded Klal Yisrael in the desert shaded them from the scorching desert sun. In addition, the Clouds of Glory bathed Klal Yisrael in the sublime Heavenly Light of the radiant Shechinah. Amazingly, this great illumination elevated Klal Yisrael above the material influence of the world. The powerful sanctification enriched Klal Yisrael, and raised them to lofty spiritual heights, far above all the nations of the world. Each year at this time, HaShem shines this Holy Light upon Klal Yisrael who dwell in the Succah. As we sit in our Succah, the souls of Klal Yisrael are reinvigorated, refreshed, and elevated.
Moral: At the Festival of Succos, HaShem surrounds each generation with the holy illuminating and elevating Clouds of Glory.
Application: When you enter the Succah envision that the holy, luminescent Clouds of Glory are suspended above you. Sense your "soul" being fully recharged, purified, and sanctified. Experience new levels of holiness, closeness to HaShem, vitality, and unbounded joy. (Based on Derech HaShem of the Ramchal) |
