This excerpt from the Conservative Or Hadash Commentary on Siddur Sim Shalom provides the Hebrew and English text of an egalitarian version of the Kabbalistic tradition of Ushpizin (Aramaic for guests), wherein on each night of Sukkot we invite different Jewish forefathers to symbolically visit our Sukkah. Published by the Rabbinical Assembly, this version also includes biblical matriarchs, as well as a commentary about the ritual.Â
