In the beginning, you don't really know what
you are doing. The first time
you do it, the second time,
you still don't know it. So in the
beginning, everything you do is good. But
as you continue with it and
do it longer, you want to invest more in it
. Why? Because it
essentially has to replace your house for a week
. So it should have everything
you have in your house. Everything
you have in your house. The Tsedikim
literally even had a bathroom
in it. It had everything. They could
n't figure it out for a week. They did
n't even go outside. They bathed in it. They
learned in it. They ate into it. They went
to the toilet there. Everything there. Under
good circumstances, if the mitzvah
is desired, it does not rain at all.
It is not raining at all. Unfortunately, this is
the time of year when, according to
nature—if such a thing as 'normal' even
exists—it is the rainy season everywhere in the world
. It is the
rainy season. So we pray for our
mitzvah and that it will not rain on us
. Let it rain elsewhere
, just not on us in our sukkah. And
you know, it is important that it does
n't rain for at least the first few evenings of the Kiddush, because if it
rains and it gets inside your sukkah,
you can't enjoy it and you can't
eat in the sukkah. The Torah says that if
it rains during the evening of the
Kiddush and it does not stop. If it
rains for only an hour or two and
then stops, you wait and perform the
Kiddush. But if it rains so hard
that it just keeps raining and doesn't
stop, and it is already heading towards the next
day, you must perform the Kiddush indoors,
and that is it. And that is not a
good sign if it happens on the first night
. Why? It means that He does
not want your mitzvah. So you shouldn't
go pray. Sometimes you pray: "Oh, I ca
n't. I hope it rains so we
can eat at home. It's much
nicer inside." No, no, do
n't pray for that. It is a very bad sign.
A very bad sign. So the point is
that men must sleep in a sukkah. Well
, that is the uh second point. Uh,
the joy of sleeping in a sukkah.
The third point is that you must have the arba minim
.
