Sukkos Part 2: The Joy of the Baal Teshuva

We mentioned last week the going.

Chronologically, the return of the after Yom Kippur's forgiveness of the sin of the ego works out to be exactly .

That's the answer.

We went through the problem as to how that works.

We went through all the sequence, chronological sequence last time.

comes out that the celebration of Sukkot is not a celebration of the Ananeh HaKovol per se, but rather it's a celebration of the restoration of the Ananeh HaKovol.

It's a different idea.

Right? Because they lost Ananeh HaKovol with the sin of the Egil.

So we lost by the

Egil as

we turned on Sukkot.

So what we're celebrating is not the first Hanan HaYakovot, but the second Hanan HaYakovot.

The restoration of Hanan HaYakovot.

Which fits in nicely with the idea of Yom Kippur itself as being the second Bukhos.

Yom Kippur is the second Bukhos.

Sukkot is the second Hanan HaYakovot.

The common denominator, one of the points we made last week, is that they both require work.

The Luchashnios represent the Torah Shebalteh, and the Horvanya and the Ameles are the hard work that goes into learning Torah.

And likewise, the Anani Yaakov, rather than the first ones, which were just gifted to the Jews and didn't last very long, but rather the restoration that comes about through the Tshuva process, That's the second that comes to work.

Furthermore, the beginning of the work on the construction of the Mishkan began at that time, on the 15th of Tishrei, as we worked out the Cheshbon last time.

And the Mishkan also is something which requires devotion, dedication, and hard work.

In a sense, therefore, the Sukkah is both is on the one hand analogous to the Mishkan, and on the other hand is symbolic of the Anan Yaakov.

Anan Yaakov that surrounds the Jews is what the Sukkot represents.

But by the same token, the building, the Mishkan, the Mokom Ashkina, the place of the Divine Presence, is also now felt in the Sukkot, which as we said last time from the Zohar, is the Or Hamaken, the Divine Light that surrounds us.

In that sense, just like Luch Hashniyot became permanent fixtures to Klal Yisrael, we have them to this day, although we don't know where they are, they're hidden.
