for 7 days. In the Jewish tradition, we leave our homes and we build a suka and we basically spend seven days in this hut. And this is our roof. You see these bamboos. What's the meaning of this? Basically, it's about cultivating frequency of surrender. It's giving up control. It's realizing that every moment of life is to live in the divine embrace. So, I go out of my comfortable, stable, powerful, stronghold, and I come into this makeshift hut that can be destroyed any minute. But paradoxically, this suka we have been in for thousands of years. I really surrender all control and I realize that God has control and I'm just a conduit for his infinite love and light. Then I could really begin to live life with full presence, with full trust, with full joy, and with full vulnerability.
