Sukkos: Why Sukkos Is Zman Simchaseinu

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

Why is Succos called Zman Simchaseinu? The Chernobyler Maggid reads zman as hazmana, preparing, so the simcha we take in on Succos draws down simcha for the whole year. The Sfas Emes brings the pasuk that the straight of heart have simcha, and after Yom Kippur we are straight again. The sukkah and the daled minim add geula, shelter for the reborn, and growth.

Key points

• Leaving physical protection for the Shekhinah's in the sukkah completes Pesach's freedom, the peak of geula.
• The Chiddushei HaRim says the sukkah takes in only the yid, leaving the rest outside.
• From Slonim: the daled minim dedicate our four main limbs to Hashem, bringing true joy.
