A Sukkah as Symbol of Humility
Manage episode 380831056 series 3428851
In this week's episode of Ḥoni's Circle we study a Rashbam commentary on a verse from Leviticus explaining why we dwell in sukkahs for the holiday of Sukkot. Rashbam explains that the holiday comes right after we have gathered the bounty of the fields into our houses so that we will not grow arrogant about our place in the world. We discuss how acknowledging our vulnerability within a loving community and, on the flip side, cultivating a sense of "enoughness", can foster joy. We also talk about how our slowness in the energy transition can be seen as similar to the Jewish people's slowness to accept their freedom, ie. change is hard, even if the status quo is not great.
