Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch noted
that Rosh Hashanah is only one day
(Rabbinical law renders it two days),
and Yom Kippur is one day, while
Sukkos is seven days. Rosh Hashanah
is the day of shaking us out of ways
of life that are displeasing to the
Almighty. The day where we make
resolutions to change our life in the

awareness of our faults and mistakes to
make us better people. Sukkos, however
sets us up afresh in living to achieve the
highest earthly possession:
Joy and happiness with the Almighty!
There is only one day for the mood of
Rosh Hashanah and only one day for the
fasting of atonement of Yom Kippur, but
seven days, a whole cycle of days for the
joyful building of our huts and enjoying
our possessions before the Almighty.
This is what is most characteristic of
Torah law, it teaches that the normal
mood of one’s life should be, not bowed
down with broken feelings, but the joy
of life which runs equally throughout the
year faithfully devoted to the Almighty
and His Torah.
We should take a few moments this
week and think about what makes
Judaism so beautiful and precious to us.
If we realize how fortunate we are to be
Shiurim Around Town
the children of the Almighty and to have
His precious Torah it will bring a state of
joy and contentment in all we do.
