Sukkot and Shabbat
?
Rabbi Bunam said: "The command to dwell in a Sukkah during the Festival of the Tabernacles is highly important, inasmuch as this is the only precept we fulfil with our whole body. The Lentzer Rabbi commented on this, saying that the Sabbath Day is of greater merit , inasmuch as it surrounds us everywhere; whereas the command of the sukkah is limited to indoors, and cannot be fulfilled out-of-doors."

Today's Inspiration - Chag Sameach!
Essentials for Sukkot
?
A hasid asked the Dzikover before Sukkot to grant him a blessing so that he might have an exceptionally fine palm branch, etrog, myrtle twigs and willows of the brook for the festival. The rabbi replied: "What you need for Sukkot is a kind heart, a humble spirit, a truthful mind, and the will to perfect yourself. After you have attained these, it will be time to concern yourself regarding an exceptionally fine set of the symbols for Sukkot."

The Tzanzer's Charity
?
On Sukkot Eve the Tzanzer would borrow great numbers of thalers, and distribute them among the poor. When asked why he insisted upon special charity for Sukkot, the rabbi replied: "We are commanded to adorn the? sukkah. And what better ornament can there be than the distribution of charity among those who lack the means wherewith to be glad in the 'season of rejoicing'?"

Day 12 ¨C Ambiguous Statements?
?
?
A Jew is responsible for exercising caution in speech and not making statements which can be misinterpreted as being derogatory.
?
An example of an ambiguous statement that should not be said is: ¡°He¡¯s a well-meaning fellow,¡± which can mean, ¡°He¡¯s well-meaning but not very intelligent, or, ¡°He¡¯s well-meaning but his actions are wrong.¡± If one simply means, ¡°He¡¯s well-meaning and sincere,¡±
then this should be made clear.

Measure for Measure
?
The way in which one acts towards others determines the way in which Heaven will act towards him. For example, if one strives to overlook the hurt caused him, and if he acts towards others with kindness and compassion, then he awakens the Attribute of Compassion
in Heaven. Hashem will judge him with mercy and he will be shown kindness from Above. As our Sages state: ¡°Whoever has compassion towards others will be shown compassion from Above¡± (Shabbos 151b); and ¡°Whoever refrains from exacting his measure [of retribution
from others for the wrong they caused him] will have all his sins forgiven¡± (Rosh Hashanah 17a). Moreover, in his merit, Divine compassion will manifest itself upon the Jewish nation as a whole.
?
However, if it is one¡¯s way to be absolutely unrelenting towards others and to treat them without compassion, then he lends strength to the Attribute of Justice ¡ªtoward himself specifically, and to the entire Jewish nation as well. Heaven will be unrelenting
regarding that person¡¯s sins, for ¡°With the measure that a person measures do they [i.e. Heaven] measure him¡± (Megillah 12b).
?
Our Sages state: ¡°Jerusalem was destroyed only because its inhabitants limited their decisions to the [letter of the] law of Torah¡± (Bava Metzia 30b). This seems difficult, for Scripture records many sins of which that generation was guilty. Our discussion
sheds light on the matter. Had the people overlooked the wrong caused them, then Hashem would have forgiven them as well. However, they were absolutely unrelenting toward each other, demanding from one another whatever they could possibly extract according
to the law ¡ªand Heaven judged them accordingly. |
