Episode Synopsis

This week’s episode begins with a question — one of the most famous Chumash kashas of all. If the sukkah reminds us of the Clouds of Glory that surrounded Klal Yisroel when they left Mitzrayim, shouldn’t we be sitting in the sukkah in Nissan, not Tishrei?But as the Tur and later Reb Yerucham Olshan reveal, the answer opens a doorway to something much deeper — a truth about what it means to be bodod, to be alone with Hashem, and why davka in the quiet, when the rest of the world goes inside, we step outside.In this powerful Yom Tov message, we uncover the secret of the sukkah — not just as a public statement of faith, but as a private journey of the soul. What does it mean to sit under the schach, to relive the footsteps of our ancestors, to feel Hashem’s embrace in the simplicity of a shaky hut?It’s a moment of stillness. Of faith. Of connection. Step outside the noise — and listen in.
