Rabbi Minkowicz Weekly Torah Lesson Holiday of Sukkot 5779

[Applause] welcome to this week's Torah lesson this week we are celebrating how they Sukkot and the question is what is the meditation of Sukkot so on suka we know we have the unique Mitzvah that we build with beautiful suka and we eat this sucker we pray in the sucker we hang out in the Succa somehow accustomed to actually sleep in the Succa kibbutz customers not to sleep in listen uh but that's it that's the place to me and what's unique about the silk is that we totally fully go into the soca from our full body our head down to our feet we're totally involved in the Mitzvah not every Mitzvah is like that certain little Dylan is on our hand then our head etc every mix I had this time in place here we're totally engulfed in this Mitzvah what does that resemble in a spiritual level so we know it says behold a heck of a you God wants us to know him and everything we do or for example the other Martin Quezada says behold my severy thing we should do we she doula Shan Shan I am in other words we go into the circle we have to remember that whatever we do from our head to our feet anytime throughout the day throughout a life should be just like the suka envelops us totally everything we do is should we feel God's presence it's a famous story of a hassan that his name is roman klutz k he was a big wood merchant and he would actually sometimes meditate during the day for seven hours straight which is strong which is pretty heavy but once he was actually totalling up his business totals and he put that all the line items then it came to the totally at the put that what his total net worth was and he wrote down a no edenal vonda which means this is the only thing that exists is really really God in other words even though he was involved in business is successful but he always was able to remember that really it's God that gives them all the blessings so the answer the questions what is the meditation of Sukkot to meditate and realize that everything in our life is from God from the morning to the night everything every place we go to everything we do is all about God and godliness this week's Torah lesson is the memory of burro when are you laid Osen may their souls be elevated by the total was studying in their memory thank you so much for joining us for this week's Torah lesson for more information please see our website
