SMILE 😃 MODE before SUCCOT ｜ Rabbi Israel Yakobov

So beemet, the, uh, Chemdat Yamim, he explained something interesting.

He says on Yom Kippur, we basically canceled the power of the Satan.

Satan in gematria, in numerical value is three hundred and sixty-four.

We have in a year three hundred and sixty-five days, minus one, which is our day.

It's Yom Kippur.

Satan doesn't, uh, doesn't have power that day.

That's why his numerical value is three hundred and sixty-four, because on Yom Kippur, we kind of overcome the Satan.

We made him weak.

The problem is that the Satan has a wife.

Yeah.

[laughs]

Yeah, he has a wife also.

Everybody has a wife.

And what's happening if you, uh, make some...

If you overcome the husband, the wife gets angry even more.

They didn't have any power on Yom Kippur, and now when they are waking up, they're waking up with full power.

That's why Hashem gave us Mitzvot Sukkot.

Sukkot, if you make the numerical value, again, it's gonna be Samech Hef Taf.

The way it's, uh, written in the Torah, Sukkot, it's the same numerical value, uh, four hundred and eighty, which is the exact numerical value of Lili.

Lamed Yod, Lamed Yod and Taf.

That's her.

That's the na-- wife of the Satan.

So this Mitzvah of Sukkot is protecting us from that power.

That's why it's very important right after Yom Kippur, we don't wait.

We don't want them to get some powers.
