Imagine you spent some time apart from a loved one. Weeks or maybe even months. It could be physical distance. It could be emotional distance.
And then you discover each other again.
The spark. The feels. You have it all.
But then one of you has to go. A prior commitment. Can’t be delayed.
“I have to go. But I don’t want to leave you. Can you come with me?”
Hashem is the G-d of the whole universe.
We just spent time with G-d during Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. We basked in each other’s presence and committed to each other. G-d doesn't want to "leave"...
But G-d has a universe to run. So He asks us, “Will you come with me?”
That’s what Sukkot is all about—spending time together with G-d in His universe.
Sometimes it’s cold. Sometimes it’s drizzling. Sometimes it’s warm.
But we're always together with Creator.
Sukkot starts tonight.

Whether we get a chance to see each other over the holiday or not, I wanted also to wish you a Good Yom Tov and the very best for you and your family!
With Blessing,
Rabbi Yitzi Hein
