Sukkot: Building Our Spiritual Sukkah

Introduction

The sukkah seems like a simple construct–shade above and walls below, but it holds deep mysteries. In this podcast, Rabbi Mike Feuer explores why the Zohar calls the sukkah “the shadow of faith” and what it means when the gemara promises that in the time to come we will sit in a sukkah made from the skin of the Leviathan.
