The Holiday of Sukkot A Rectification for Mitzvot Performed Without Joy

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi David Pinto’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Shalom. To wish you well. In few days we will celebrate Sukkot. And as you know Sukkot it's after the holidays of Roshan and Kipur. And we know that it's a holiday that the Torah said is a time of joy, of happiness. The question is, is it possible to be happy when we go out from the house, we're in the street, we build a suka in the street and it's not quite comfortable. I mean the law is you have to sleep there in the suka to eat the suka. I mean you have to do everything in the suka. And uh how can sometimes it's cold, sometimes it's warm, sometimes it's raining. I mean there is a big difference if you are in the house or you're in the suka. If you're in the house, it's a everything is you live in the house in the comfort. You have everything. You have a salon, a salon, you have a if you want to have a wash, you want to change your clothes, you have everything. But the we don't have everything. So how can you say is the time of our joy and beside this how can you be happy after we know that we've been judged and kipur and we don't know the result what it is the result. So how really can we be happy and uh it's something that we have to understand my friend I will never forget few years ago when I was in France it was uh the first night of Sukkot
