After weeks of early morning selichos, two days of commemorating Rosh Hashana, and just completing a full day of fasting and repenting on Yom Kippur – we are all tired! But, before you take that breath to catch up, Succos will be here with so much to do. It is the most intense weeks of the Jewish calendar, and this would be an opportune

“We just need to move already!” exclaimed a customer to me only hours ago in what must be the succinct and “distilled” version of what all buyers are feeling these days.

Where would I go? I still want to be near my children, and mine is the only home large enough for the entire family. I’m going to lose all of my friends.

The only shipwreck survivor washed up on a small, deserted island. Every day he scanned the horizon, hoping to see any signs of life in the distance. There was nothing but water from miles away. After a few days of unfathomable living conditions, he mustered enough strength and resourcefulness to build a tiny makeshift hut out of driftwood

Of all the holidays we celebrate over the course of the year I sense that one Yom Tov, in particular, is more deeply connected to our physical home than any other.
