SOUKKOT





















on 15 Tishri


In the third book of the Bible, The Leviticus, we read in the twenty-third chapter, verses 42 and 43: "Ye shall dwell in booths seven days, all natives in Israel live in booths so your descendants will know that I did live in tents children of Israel after I brought them out of Egypt. "

This festival lasts for 7 days, called Sukkot, or Feast of Tabernacles sometimes or Booths and it takes place after the most solemn holy festivals of the Jewish year, Rosh Hashana (the day of the Hashanah) and Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement). This festival is a way to remember that Jews on their way across the desert to the promised land, had no permanent homes. So tents or "sukka" are used to symbolize the insecurity of life of the Jewish people.

"Sukkot" is also a celebration of autumn and the harvest that makes us appreciate the goodness and faithfulness of God. It was the custom in ancient times in Palestine, move everyone to the fields and live in tents to complete the harvest before the rains fall and to protect and ripe fruit from thieves. According

law found in Leviticus, the festival of Sukkot is celebrated each year by building tents that resemble small huts or shacks. In this time of celebration, these small huts called "Sukka" are built in the backyard to accommodate all family members. Those who live in flats transformed their sukkah balcony by decorating with branches and fruit for the head.

"You take the first day the fruit of the tree Hadar (Ethrog), palm branches (lulav), myrtle twigs and willow branches of the river, and you shall rejoice in the presence of Lord your God for seven days "(Leviticus 23.40)



The 4 SPECIES



















The etrog, lemon grown in Israel, has both the taste and smell. It is like the son of Israel who have both knowledge - Smell - and the fruits of good deeds - taste - the teaching of life - the Torah.

The palm fruit but no smell. He represents those who benefit from the teachings of the Torah, but do not know in spreading knowledge. In the bouquet there is therefore a branch.

The myrtle has a pleasant smell, but no fruit. She represents those who have knowledge of the Torah, but do not know grow in their actions. In the bouquet there are three branches.

The two willow branches are tasteless and odorless. They represent those who have neither knowledge nor share the fruits of the Torah, but they are still part of the People of Israel.

And it is through a mix of all four species of plants, which represent the entire People of Israel, we cheered the Lord who saved his people into his servant.




Preserve, O Lord, the earth, of all evil ... ..

sacrifices offered in the first seven days of Sukkot for the well-being the seventy nations, this made this day of Shemini Atzeret is defending the interests of the Jewish people. So far what is the underlying reason that justifies this gift to the Lord?

This offering underlines the special love that D. leads us. Provided this does not explain how the separation will be easier tomorrow?
During the seven days of Sukkot, the Jewish people has united around the mitzvah of "lulav." This gesture has met four species representing four classes of the Jewish people.
The tzaddik (etrog) filled with Torah study and mitzvot as achievements of the simple man (Arava) has no merit to his credit, the whole world has united around the mitzvah the "lulav" during the seven days of Sukkot.
With the conclusion of these festivities blurred the connection kept us united together in the Lord. We then asked him to offer a sacrifice on the day of Shemini Atzeret. Through this offering we will draw the strength to remain sealed throughout the year. In the image of this sacrifice A unique symbol of unity par excellence.

Coming from a speech of the Lubavitcher Rebbe - Likoutei Sih'ots Vol II.



Simchat Torah (Joy of Torah)

The real meaning of the Torah is not only intelligence and understanding, but above all his holiness. Thus, even ignorant people recite the blessings over the Torah, because at this level, all Jews are connected with it. However, since the Torah must penetrate and permeate the individual completely and not remain foreign to him, the study and understanding are also needed. For the Jew it establishes a more intimate relationship between the essence of the Torah and the essence of his soul and unites them.

We dance, therefore, on Simchat Torah with the Torah hidden in her cloak, hidden from our eyes, which symbolizes the degree to which it is beyond our comprehension. Our joy on this day is not based on our understanding of the Torah, but rather on the fact that through it we we connect with God in His Essence. We therefore express our joy by dancing with our feet because the feet symbolize submission, faith, as they do obeying the will of the intellect that guides them.

This joy with the Torah hidden under his cloak is held at the beginning of the year, after repentance during the month of Elul, after Rosh Hashanah, the Ten Days of Atonement, Sukkot and Shemini Atzeret. At the beginning of a new year of "work" in the service of God, all Jews are like the little child whose education is begun, and they too must begin with the awareness expressed in the verse "Torah tsiva Lanou Moshe "," The Torah that Moses has commanded us ... ', That is to say, with submission to Divine Yoke. With this basis, the logic design and rationale of the Torah throughout the year will be imbued with faith and total devotion to God.

Now we can understand the words of the previous Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneerson: "A Simchat Torah, the Torah wants to dance around the bimah (medium where the Torah is read). But since it has no feet, the Jews held him in place, while carrying around the bimah in the same way that the feet walk and support the head of a person to a destination of his choice. "

What is a Jew represents the feet of the Torah?

This means that when a Jew dancing on Simchat Torah, he submits himself totally to the Will of God so that he no longer conceived as an independent being. It becomes what the feet are at the head, subordinates and responding instantly to the desire of the mind. If the legs feel as an individual existence, if they "think" before following guidelines in mind, then it is a sign of illness. A Jew is like "feet of Sefer Torah," he accepts and firmly decided that during the next year he will be fully subject to the Torah, so firmly that whatever she asks him becomes inherent and natural. And in the same way the feet leading the head to the place she could reach by itself, Jews, accepting the yoke of the Torah with joy, bring a spiritual exaltation to the Torah.

Here the profound significance of the plural expression designating the festival: "The time of our joy." Jews rejoice with the Torah and the Torah rejoices with the Jewish people, because their actions allow an even greater spiritual ascension. Therefore we should rejoice with all our strength during Hakafot (time of rejoicing with the Torah) of Simchat Torah.

That D. done before the holiday Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah, we have the deserves to celebrate, dancing and listening to the "new Torah" of our fair Moshiach in the large sukkah that will gather with the assistance of D. today the Jewish people.

"And the Lord spoke to Moses in these terms: However, the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement, call for holiness and you shall afflict your souls, and you approach sacrifices in the name of the Lord. And you shall do no work that day because it is the day of atonement for make atonement for you before the LORD your God. But anyone who does not humbled by this day will be cut off from his people. And any person who shall carry a job that day, and I'll remove this person from among his people. You shall do no work, this is the perpetual decree for your generations in all your dwellings. This will be your absolute cessation of work, and you shall afflict your people since the ninth month in the evening, one night to another, you shall cease all work. " vayikra Leviticus XXIII, 26 to 32


Most of our brethren falsely believe that simply spending the day at the synagogue to pray with passion to be forgiven by D. all of our sins. But the truth is that the only sins are forgiven Kippur has the offenses committed against D. Offenses committed cons others should they, be corrected individually. That is why our sages encourage us starts the process of repentance before Yom Kippur and try to rectify the wrongs that we've all committed to other people. Also feel free to contact the company of those to whom you have fishing throughout the year and ask them to forgive you SINCERELY. Show that you really regret what you did and you do not referrer. And besides all that the victim is approached too long can not refuse a pardon application (if the first application failed, two other requests must be made).
Five prohibitions are respected during Yom Kippur:
- it is prohibited eating and drinking
- it is forbidden to wash
- it is forbidden to anoint (to rub) the body
- it is forbidden to wear leather shoes
- it is illegal to have intimate relationships

At the time of the Temple on Yom Kippur was preceded and followed by ceremonies marking the importance of the High Priest.
Leading the group were members of the royal family followed the descendants of the house of David. A herald preceded them and exhorted the crowd to cheer the king.
36,000 Levites followed, also preceded by a herald who proclaimed: "Respect and veneration for the tribe Levi! . The heads of the Levites were attired in blue silk and priests in robes of white silk.
Then came the singers, players of harps, trumpets, all the artisans and artists employed in the work of the Temple, followed by 70 members comprising the Senate and 100 ushers
.. Only then paraded the high priest accompanied by two by two the oldest among the priests, while school leaders formed the hedge various crossroads and hosted by cheers and wishes.

"In His infinite goodness to his creatures, the Lord has appointed a day this year to clear the faults of those who repent. Because if you added up all the sins committed in two or three years, the cut would be full, and the world would be destroyed. Therefore, the Holy One, blessed be He, in His wisdom decided in order to maintain the world to fix a day in the year for the expiation of sins of those who repent. And today, in principle, was established from the beginning of the world, then he was sanctified as a day of atonement, and that is what our sages have said: "The day of Yom Kippur is atonement" is to say that the day itself deletes small mistakes. "Sefer Hahinoukh

For the prophet Isaiah (LVIII) Yom Kippur is only meaningful if everyone understands that he lives for 25 hours the condition of the needy, then get involved to help the poor.

History scapegoat
By Philippe Haddad

The Gaon of Vilna (eighteenth century) has proposed a bold and surprising reading linking two holidays that seem diametrically opposed: Yom Kippur and Purim. As is often the rabbis, the master of Vilna uses a play on words: Yom Hakipourim (day of atonement) must be decomposed into Yom Ke-Purim (Purim day).

What report? Yom Kippur is marked by fasting, 5 prohibitions, 5 prayers, asking for forgiveness and so on. Purim is the joy, the carnival, the banquet.

Probably the track is bad. We must seek the solution elsewhere in the common elements in these two feasts. This common element is in the draw spells: goraloth Purim in Hebrew and in Persian.

Indeed, the Kohen Gadol Kippur, the High Priest, was during the ceremony to proceed with a drawing spells: "Aaron will draw lots upon the two goats, one lot for the LORD and the other lot for Azazel ( name of a desert near Jerusalem). Aaron shall bring the goat on which the lot fell for Jehovah, and offer it as a sacrifice of atonement. And the goat on which the lot fell for Azazel shall be presented alive before the LORD, that he used to make atonement and be sent into the wilderness to Azazel. "(Vayikra / Leviticus 16, 8 to 10).

What he said about Haman? "In the first month, which is the month of Nisan, the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, they drew the pros, that is to say the lot, before Haman, for each day and each month until the twelfth months, which is the month of Adar. "(Esther III, 7).

In his work, the anthropologist René Girard (These things hidden since the foundation of the world, the scapegoat, etc..) Highlights one of the major features of human society: violence. The violence of war that is finished when the war will find other ways of expression, such as during a football match. But also in economics: the yuppie recalled silly string lacks does not include the effects of the warriors of yesterday, a laptop and an officer in place of the sword and shield? Should it not "win" market share? The economy, the continuation of war by other means? Wars exist between companies, are reviewing the beautiful movie "the firm" Sidney Polak. Raphael Drai warns us, the economy, yes, but "the economy Shabbat."

This violence may subside to find another stopgap: a scapegoat, that is to say something, an object, an animal, a man who founded the violence, sometimes symbolically, sometimes by actually a sacrifice.

Here Kippur and Purim join and they highlight the differences. Judaism, from its origins has worked through this issue of sacrifice, human sacrifice, that is to say its "neighbor as yourself." The transition, sublimation, transfer will be played at Mount Moriah, between Abraham and Isaac, between father and son (Genesis / Bereshith XXII). This passage we celebrate Rosh Hashanah, ringing in the shoffar, the ram's horn, the animal substitutes. By this movement, Israel is a story ahead of other peoples, a civilization of morality before humanism.

Haman he remained the primary, his scapegoat must be a people. His argument is twofold: the Jews are everywhere, Jews are among them. This is the anti-Semitic discourse built for generations. Sacrificing Israel, and its ethical message, because Haman is proud. There is no other causes of anti-Semitism: the pride, spirit hegemonic, a disproportionate me. The rest is commentary!

For Judaism, the scapegoat may be a goat. The day the lesson will become universal, the world will celebrate his bar mitzvah.
