The Connection Between the Sukkah and Joy

In this animated video (02:18), Rabbi Mark Fishman explores the connection between dwelling in a Sukkah and experiencing happiness on the particularly joyous festival of Sukkot. In addition to a basic introduction to what elements make up a kosher Sukkah, Rabbi Fishman suggests that the true happiness of Sukkot comes from opening our doors and hearts to share our homes with others. Rabbi Fishman is the rabbi of the Orthodox Congregation Beth Tikvah in Quebec, Canada.Â
