we are commanded to sit in the seven
days in order that your generation
should
know that I sat the Jewish nation in
sukus in the midbar many years earlier
Hashem is telling us the reason for the
mitz of Suka is that we should
understand and remember that which hasem
did for us many years earlier the
explains that the Torah is trying to
teach us a of aov a sense of
appreciation to recognize the fact that
Hashem not only took us out of mitan
many years ago but that Hashem provided
for all of our needs in the midbar it
was a very inhabitable area there was
nothing there yet all of our needs were
provided for the beair provided water
the M was our food and the anov provided
protection day and night the road that
we traveled was smooth out by the clouds
the clouds stood there as protection
against the rain it was a climate
controlled environment and the clouds
provided cleaning for our clothing all
of the needs of the Jews were provided
for in the midbar the reason we sit in
sukus now is to remind us of the great
favors that Hashem did for us back then
and then the continues he says the
reason why Hashem wants us to remember
that is that we have a sense of
appreciation and thereby it will beaz us
in our Mitzvah we'll serve hem with much
greater fervor out of that sense of
appreciation and then he says a very
interesting twist because if we do that
then Hashem will be able to reward us
meaning to say everything that Hashem
does is for our benefit the reason why
Hashem wants us to do the Mitzvah is not
because Hashem needs us to do the mitzah
but Hashem wants us to do the mitzah so
that he could give us reward in the
world to come and I think a concept that
very much Bears understanding is that
Hashem lacks nothing Hashem is all
powerful all knowing all present and
Hashem has no need
hence there's nothing that a human being
could ever provide for Hashem Hashem has
everything anything that hasem does is
for
