As I write this message, so much is unknown.
Will the hostages be released? Will there be a cessation of the war in Gaza? Is it really up to Hamas?
What is really the best thing for Israel? Israel itself is very divided about the best way to proceed at this time.
America is also increasingly polarized.There is a government shutdown, there is escalating crime and it almost looks like civil war in several cites.
Anti semitism is increasing all over the world. On this past Yom Kippur a terrorist murdered innocent Jews attending synagogue in Manchester England.
His first name given to him by his parents was Jihad!
Sitting in a succah reminds us that we are also on a journey reminiscent of the journey of the Jewish people who left Egypt.
Life in this physical world (has always been) a journey with many unknowns.
Sitting in a succah is a time to learn what is really important in life.
During Sukkot, we let go of what is not true, to let go of what is not connected to our heart and to who we really are.
We learn to be with ourselves, with others, with our ancestors, with our Jewish history, and with God.
May we all taste eternity in moments with love and joy that is not dependent on anything physical during this holiday...

The Lubavticher Rebbe reminds us " Let us trust in God with the confidence that everything will turn our for the best for that very trust brings about a positive outcome.
" Trusting that God is in charge and everything is happening for the higher good brings joy, even when things may still feel challenging. .

Blessings from Paradise await us in the Sukkah of Peace!
