Rabbi Nota Schiller - Sukkot: Living a Full Life

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Hidabroot - Torah & Judaism’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

the meadow says that abram was blessed back home with everything and continues to say that backhoe is a reference to sukkah somehow bako with everything is a as an allusion to the mitzvah of sukkah no other interpretations of that verse by other mymorin and ghazal of the statements in ghazal but let's focus on this for the moment this that relates that on the day of judgment nations of the world are going to be confronted with truth reality as it is no more illusion and they'll ask for a mitzvah to be able to fulfill to somehow make amends for their failings so in this cosmic dialogue the rebellion offers them the mitzvah of sukkah they go out they build their silkas a very blisteringly hot sun comes out impossible to sit in the sukkah they get angry they kick the sucker and they run away what's the failure is that halachic also a jew if he's in sorrow if he's in pain is no longer obligated to fulfill the mitzvah on the contrary we have sources in allah that indicate that it's a very very naive and plebeian response to try and fulfill it under those circumstances but he doesn't kick the sucker it's pouring rain or it's burning hot or it's freezing cold that you are a style you're in pain you're suffering you don't sit in the sukkah my question is why would this be the mitzvah that's chosen to be the litmus test to differentiate between the jew and the non-jew why is sukkah somehow more suited to make this differentiation than another mitzvah and we have to assume that that is the case otherwise the revenue would not have chosen sukkah for the separating the men from the boys there's a famous drash the villenegon
