Under His Protection: The Sukkah as a Divine Envelope
Shabbat & Sukkot Lighting
The sukkah represents the hashgacha and protection Hashem has for us. We pray every day ופרוש עלינו סוכת שלומיך, we want to be enveloped by Hashem’s protection on all sides. While sitting in the sukkah we are supposed to remember how Hashem enveloped our ancestors in the desert with His loving Clouds of Glory. With those clouds, Hashem took care of all of their needs down to the last detail - He paved the roads for them, protected them from the harmful animals, cleaned and pressed their clothing while they were still wearing them, protected them from the hot sun and the cold nights, from the winds and from the elements. When we sit in our sukkot, we should remind ourselves that today, as well, Hashem protects and takes care of all of our needs.
Chag Sameach and Shabbat Shalom!!!
