Podcasts about Sukkah

Most churches skip right over Sukkot—but the Bible doesn't.  In this episode of Abraham's Wallet, we're unpacking why Christians today should care about the Feast of Tabernacles, what Scripture actually says about how it's to be celebrated, and how you can practically live it out with your family. If you've ever wondered whether these biblical feasts still matter—or how they connect to Jesus and your household today—this episode will give you clarity, conviction, and practical steps to start walking it out.

2- Orach Chaim 639- Brocho on Mitzvos & Mitzvas Yeshivas Sukkah (Elul 5785)

This discussion is an exercise in Heshbon HaNefesh (soul-accounting), focusing on the need to approach our service of God with the same seriousness and focus we dedicate to our most important worldly tasks. The central lesson is that all our actions must be performed with our full heart and attention. The Three Categories of Divine Service The Chovot HaLevavot (Duties of the Heart) divides our service of God into three categories: Solely of the Heart: This includes internal spiritual duties like love and fear of God, faith, and trust. Both Body and Heart: This category includes mitzvot that involve both physical action and spiritual intention, such as prayer and Torah study. Solely of the Body: These are physical acts that require initial intent but not constant focus throughout the action, such as shaking the Lulav or performing the mitzvah of Sukkah . The Heart of the Matter: The Importance of Intention in Prayer The core of our service, especially prayer, is the heart. The prophet Isaiah delivered a powerful rebuke to the people, saying, "This people honors Me with its lips and with its mouth, but its heart is far from Me." Prayer without intention and focus is likened to a body without a soul—it is essentially dead. The Chovot HaLevavot offers a powerful parable: a servant invites a king to his home, but then disappears to gamble while the king waits alone. Similarly, we invite God into a meeting through prayer, but if our heart is not present, we are not truly there. This is why, as we say at the end of our prayers, "May the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be acceptable before You." This is a bold request, as we are asking God to accept the thoughts that are often far from holy. To ensure our heart is present, the Chovot HaLevavot advises three mental preparations before we begin to pray: Know to Whom You Speak: Recognize that you are about to address the King of all kings. Understand Your Needs: Be clear on what you want from Him—your life, health, and sustenance. Choose Your Words Carefully: Consider the words you will use to make your requests. The Five Elements of True Prayer The words of our prayer are like the peel of an orange or the body of a person; the essence is the fruit and the soul. While the words are a vital tool, the true purpose is to ignite five fundamental feelings within the heart: Yearning: The soul's desire to connect with God. Humility: Humbly recognizing one's smallness before Him. Awe: Recognizing the greatness of the Creator. Praise: Thanking Him for all His kindness. Reliance: Casting all your burdens upon Him. Our sages created the siddur (prayer book) because they knew our hearts are fickle. The words help us organize and express these concepts. Although technically one can fulfill their obligation with thought alone, our words guide and anchor our thoughts. God has entrusted us with prayer, knowing that only we can truly know the sincerity of our own hearts. To live up to this trust, we must follow the counsel of the great sages, who would spend time before they prayed to clear their minds and prepare their hearts, recognizing that we are about to stand before a King who can read our innermost thoughts.

1- Orach Chaim 625- The Reason for Mitzvas Sukkah (Elul 5785)

Why specifically Sukkah?

Stories of Abuse & Triumph: The Girl Was Being Violated; They said She Was Seeking Negative AttentionThis Lag Baomer class was presented on Tuesday, 15 Iyar, 5785, May 13, 2025, Parshas Emor, at The Barn @ 84 Viola Rd. in Montebello, NY. There is no other sage in the history of Judaism who has all of the Jewish people celebrating on the day that he passed away. Why is the yarzeit of Reb Shimon ben Yochai marked in such a unique and universal way? How did Reb Shimon bar Yochai end up in a cave? It seems like a classic Jewish story and conversation. One Jew, Reb Yosei, remains quiet about Rome. Reb Yehuda praises the Romans for elevating the standards of life; and Reb Shimon is critical because he said it was for narcissistic purposes. But is there a deeper theme behind this debate? The fact that the Talmud records the details of the debate, and gives us the names of the debaters, instead of just saying that Reb Shimon criticized the government, indicates there is some depth and gravitas to this debate, and that the names are important. As it turns out, the debate on Rome fascinatingly reflects a debate between Reb Yehuda and Reb Shimon in many aspects of Jewish law. The Talmud states: Chezekiah stated in the name of Rabbi Jeremiah, who said it in the name of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, "I am able to exempt the whole world from judgment from the day that I was born until now!” (Sukkah 45b). What is that supposed to mean? The Midrash states in Avod Derabi Nasan ch. 16: Rabbi Shimon ben Yochai would say: From this you know that Israel will never see the face of purgatory. But how can a sage say such a thing?View Source Sheets: http://portal.theyeshiva.net/api/source-sheets/9685

SUMMARY In this episode of the Millennial Rabbis Podcast, Rabbi Yehoshua Rubin shares his unique experiences as a Jewish Navy chaplain and Chabad emissary, discussing his journey from a non-religious upbringing to becoming a rabbi serving in the military. He recounts his deployment to the Middle East, the challenges of maintaining Jewish traditions on an aircraft carrier, and the importance of outreach to fellow Jewish sailors. Rabbi Rubin's stories highlight the intersection of faith and service, showcasing the impact of his work in a challenging environment. TAKEAWAYS Making a podcast requires commitment and time. Rabbi Yeshua Rubin serves as a Navy chaplain without a fixed congregation. His viral video of a makeshift Sukkah on an aircraft carrier gained attention. Deployment to the Middle East involved significant challenges and responsibilities. Rabbi Rubin emphasizes the importance of Jewish outreach in the Navy. He shares personal stories of connecting with Jewish sailors during his service. Maintaining Jewish traditions on a ship is a unique challenge. Rabbi Rubin's journey reflects a deep commitment to his faith and service. The role of a chaplain includes providing pastoral care and support. Returning home after deployment is a surreal and emotional experience.

Continuing our sermon series on the Book of Nehemiah chapters 8-10, Michelle Matthews preaches about the Feast of Booths (aka the Feast of Tabernacles), and how the modern resurgence of building sukkahs points to a need to counteract the loneliness of living in today's world.

Shiur given by Rabbi Bezalel Rudinsky on Halacha Choshen Mishpat. Shiur recorded in Yeshivas Ohr Reuven, Monsey, NY.

Between Simchas Beis Hashoeva and the mitzvah to visit one's Rebbi over Sukkos, there seems to be a special focus on seeing the faces of tzadikim over this Yom Tov. The Mashgiach explains why.

So, there is a Halacha to be able to see the stars in the Sukkah. In this episode, we highlight 10 possible reasons why this is.

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: Chassidus applied to this time of year Why are these days between Yom Kippur and Sukkos so powerful? What is the lesson from these days? Why is the day after Yom Kippur called “G-d's Name”? What is the proper way to greet people during these days? What is the significance of new year and holiday blessings? How do our blessings and best wishes help? Can we bless others with the priestly blessing even if we are not kohanim? Though I am a simple person, can I bless others? Is it appropriate to bless people with “may you always have good news to share”? Post Yom Kippur If everyone was forgiven on Yom Kippur, why are some people being punished and suffering? Why do we sound the shofar at the end of Yom Kippur? What's the difference between a regular shofar and the “great shofar” that will be sounded when Moshiach comes? Is there a connection between the call of the “great shofar” and Yom Kippur's impact on all Jews to do teshuva? Why do we sing Napoleons March at the end of Yom Kippur and not at the beginning? Why Napoleon's March when the Alter Rebbe was so opposed to him? Why is Yom Kippur exclusively a day of repentance when a person should be repenting every day? To what extent can Yom Kippur help a person who hasn't repented all year? Why did G-d send Jonah to a non-Jewish city and encourage them to repent? How can Sukkos help us in this time of war in Israel? What is the essential message of Sukkos? How does the Sukkah help us internalize the light of Yom Kippur? Why is Sukkos a time of great celebration? What is the difference between Sukkah and the four species? Are the four species spiritual weapons? How can we maximize the blessings of the Sukkah considering that it is the only mitzvah that encompasses our entire bodies? If the sechach represents the clouds of glory that protected us in the wilderness, why didn't it provide protection on October 7th? Why was pouring water during Simchas Beis HaShoeivah considered such a joyous event? How did the Rebbe revitalize this celebration? And why in the streets? War in Israel What more can we do? Is it appropriate to invoke in a note to the Rebbe the merit of his mother to have the hostages released? What is the background behind the Poalei Tzedek group, established in the town of Lubavitch, who would wake up early every morning to say Tehillim and learn Torah together, and should we recreate that today?

It is the week of the Jewish holiday, Sukkot, a harvest festival, sending out wishes to the world that all might have enough to eat and a place to live. A time for counting blessings and fostering hope. Jan shares the remarkable story of his meeting a muslim inside a dwelling built for this Jewish holiday and the power each of us can draw from connection.

A conversation about the unity of G-d that we experience over Sukkos, and how can we can draw that all-encompassing embrace into the fragmented pieces of our lives.

Sukkos is the synthesis of the things we committed to work on during the Yamim Noraim and how the Ushpizin help us to accomplish them.
