So sukus is a very special time and a very special mitzvah not only coinciding and coming right after the but into itself. And this is a surprising statement and I wonder where it comes from. wonder where it comes from. The nature of a statement like this must be kazal. I don't know where this medish is. Today it's easy to find med. If anybody finds this medish, please let me know. It is unreasonable that the Mahari V who was one of the later Ashkanazi says this on his own. And what does suka have to do with so let me share with you some thoughts quoted in the many other is the numerical value of the four letters of suka is sad saddak is the gamat of and equals and that's the gatri of each and every one of the sheamus of aeshu one of the sheamus of aeshu has a different connotation and a different meaning she is always and she ad is and suka has a special zula to transform din into starring culminating in Yamiper are all about and then comes Sukus and Sukus has the unique power to be unique power to be to transform to the same thought we find by the go the explaining what the Gamora says in Suker. A person leaves a suk and he goes into his house and the gor says alava it is adding water to wine. According to the Zoya, according to the Capab, water is raim, wine is red, wine is din. So the concept of say is combining and if we want to perform and says get out that is all year round there's Only once a year is and the greatest of his age that were juggling torches fire.
