Succos

Harav Hagaon Shmuel Wolman shlita

The Yom Tov of Succos, besides being one of the shalosh regalim, is referred to in the Torah with the phrase ืœึทื—ึนื“ึถืฉื ื”ึทืฉึฐึผืื‘ึดื™ืขึดื™ ื”ึทื–ึถึผื”. The Chasam Sofer explains that the Torah is emphasizing that itโ€™s no coincidence that Succos follows immediately after Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Rather, itโ€™s part and parcel of the whole avodah of the month of Tishrei, and very much an integral part of the Yamim Noraโ€™im.

I would like to try to shed some light on this relationship between the awesome days of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, and Succos, which is zman simchaseinu. Indeed, the Rambam states: ืืฃ ืขืœ ืคื™ ืฉื›ืœ ื”ืžื•ืขื“ื•ืช ืžืฆื•ื” ืœืฉืžื•ื— ื‘ื”ืŸ ื‘ื—ื’ ื”ืกื•ื›ื•ืช ื”ื™ื™ืชื” ืฉื ื‘ืžืงื“ืฉ ืฉืžื—ื” ื™ืชืจื”. What is the simchah yeseirah we are meant to feel on Succos, and how is it a culmination of the Yamim Noraโ€™im and of the month of Tishrei?

The Gemara teaches that the world was created in Tishrei, and each year at this time we celebrate brias haโ€™olam โ€” and mankind, for whom the world was created, is given its yearly renewal, while an assessment is performed to ascertain whether mankind is properly fulfilling its mission statement.

The passuk says: ืึฒืฉึถืืจ ืขึธืฉึธื‚ื” ื”ึธืึฑืœึนืงึดื™ื ืึถืช ื”ึธืึธื“ึธื ื™ึธืฉึธืืจ ื•ึฐื”ึตืžึธึผื” ื‘ึดืงึฐืฉืื•ึผ ื—ึดืฉึฐึผืื‘ึนื ื•ึนืช ืจึทื‘ึดึผื™ื, and Chazal tell us that Hakadosh Baruch Hu created every human being with an inner yashrus, so that he innately desires ruchniyus and closeness to Hashem. That was the state of Adam Harishon before the cheit. But the yetzer hara mixed in and started making cheshbonos rabim. This is the fundamental struggle for which man was created: to remain focused on the innate desire of his neshamah, the chelek Eloka mimaโ€™al, and not allow his physicality to reign supreme in his decision-making.

The avodah of Rosh Hashanah is ืฉืชืžืœื™ื›ื•ื ื™ ืขืœื™ื›ื, allowing the Eibishterโ€™s will to be the ultimate deciding factor. This is really an avodah of bein adam leโ€™atzmo, in which a person allows his neshamah to dominate the gashmiyus aspect of his being. We are meant to declare sincerely: ืžืœื•ืš ืขืœ ื›ืœ ื”ืขื•ืœื ื›ื•ืœื• ื‘ื›ื‘ื•ื“ืš, as we affirm: ืจืฆื•ื ื ื• ืœืขืฉื•ืช ืจืฆื•ื ืš. Our message to the Eibishter, the King of kings who is judging his world, is that while we might not be proud of the outcome of every one of our decisions and struggles, our deepest desire has never wavered, and we are worthy of a renewal as we continue to fight the uphill battle against the irresistible temptations and miserable distractions of the yetzer hara.

We spend the balance of the Aseres Yemei Teshuvah trying to do teshuvah, getting back in touch with our chelek Elokah mimaโ€™al and getting our physicality in check.

On Yom Kippur, the climax of Aseres Yemei Teshuvah, we are meant to reach the pinnacle of this teshuvah, as the five inuyim negate every aspect of our physicality. On this day, we behave like pure malachim who have no mundane functions and are totally immune to any urges or temptations. The two se’irim of the Yom Kippur avodah โ€” the saโ€™ir laHashem and the saโ€™ir laโ€™azazel โ€” represent the two conflicting parts of every human being, and on Yom Kippur we try to shed ourselves of the influence of our physicality, as symbolized by the sending of the saโ€™ir off the cliff.

On Yom Kippur weโ€™re able to reconnect to our innermost yashrus, and that gives rise to the unparalleled simchah yeseirah that we feel at the end of Yom Kippur. As the Sfas Emes explains, it is the inner joy of ื•ึผืœึฐื™ึดืฉึฐืืจึตื™ ืœึตื‘ ืฉึดื‚ืžึฐื—ึธื”, experienced when a human being has rid himself of all the failed cheshbonos rabim and attained the highest level of sheleimus as he connects to the yashrus halev that every person was originally created with.

Channeling the Yashrus Halev

Succos is the Yom Tov when we channel that ethereal simchah, and allow it to flow into the rest of the year. We went through Yom Kippur, when we were able to reach the madreigah of the malachim, with no physicality. We attained this incredible clarity and gvuras hanefesh, and we feel the dominion of the neshamah over the guf. We feel that simchah yeseirah, but how are we to take it back to the alma dโ€™shikra, where the fire of the yetzer hara is constantly being stoked, and the incessant distractions of earthly pursuits and physical needs pull our focus away from the neshamah? How do we take this simchah of yashrus halev with us?

For this, Hashem gives us the mitzvah of succah โ€” a seven-day paradise where the neshamah gets to enter the ืฆื™ืœื ื“ืžื”ื™ืžื ื•ืชื, a spiritual wonderland where the neshamah feels at home, as it connects to the Shechinah. The Eibishter tells us: ืฆื ืžื“ื™ืจืช ืงื‘ืข ื•ืฉื‘ ื‘ื“ื™ืจืช ืขืจืื™ โ€” leave the materialistic trappings of this fleeting world, and enter the real world of ruchniyus and doing Hashemโ€™s will. The Eibishter gives us an incredible jumpstart, easing us back into the regular year, as we take this avodah with us back into the trenches. He gives us the mitzvah of ื‘ึทึผืกึปึผื›ึนึผืช ืชึตึผืฉึฐืื‘ื•ึผ ืฉึดืื‘ึฐืขึทืช ื™ึธืžึดื™ื. The Eibishter tells us, ืชืฉื‘ื• ื›ืขื™ืŸ ืชื“ื•ืจื•: Live with all the mundane, physical activities of daily life โ€” but in the succah, where every mundane activity is automatically spiritual. The huge challenge of trying to channel the physical into playing a supportive role for the real purpose, that of ruchniyus, is given to us as a gift on Succos. Every indulgence in the succah โ€” a piece of cake, a geshmakeh shmooze, a relaxing nap โ€” is automatically considered ruchniyus, a fulfillment of the mitzvah of succah.

Succos is all about encapsulating the simchah of yashrus halev that we attained during Aseres Yemei Teshuvah and Yom Kippur and finding a way to make it part of us, so that we can take it with us. Itโ€™s about maintaining that focus that we gained over the Yamim Noraโ€™im. We read Koheles to intensify that understanding, as we realize that all of our physical pursuits are hevel havalim and donโ€™t yield the lasting, pure happiness of the yashrus halev gained over the Yamim Noraโ€™im. Succos is zman simchaseinu not only because we are experiencing the intense simchah of yashrus halev, but also because the avodah of the Yom Tov is to allow this simchah to become our benchmark of what simchah really is โ€” and that will motivate us to live focused lives that will continue to generate that otherworldly joy of yashrus halev.

United in Joy

It is no coincidence that the mitzvah of dalet minim is performed on Succos; rather, thereโ€™s a deep connection between these two mitzvos. The Midrash explains that each of these four species represents a major part of the body, and as we bundle them together and shake them in every direction, we are harnessing all of our different senses and bodily functions and channeling them toward the Eibishter and toward fulfilling His will.

Chazal also say that each of these four species represents a different type of Yid, who come together when we hold the dalet minim together. The clarity we achieve, as we celebrate our return to the fundamental quality of yashrus halev, brings with it tremendous tranquility, as we focus solely on supporting our neshamahโ€™s desire to serve Hashem. This clarity also leads to achdus between us and our fellow Yidden, as Chazal expound the passuk: ื›ึธึผืœ ื”ึธืึถื–ึฐืจึธื— ื‘ึฐึผื™ึดืฉึฐื‚ืจึธืึตืœ ื™ึตืฉึฐืื‘ื•ึผ ื‘ึทึผืกึปึผื›ึนึผืช to mean: ืžืœืžื“ ืฉื›ืœ ื™ืฉืจืืœ ืจืื•ื™ื ืœื™ืฉื‘ ื‘ืกื•ื›ื” ืื—ืช. How does this work? The passuk tells us: ืœึฐืชึทืึฒื•ึธื” ื™ึฐื‘ึทืงึตึผืฉื ื ึดืคึฐืจึธื“, meaning that all distance and discord between people are a product of our taavos, which pin us against each other. When we experience the clarity of Succos, that taavah begins to vanish, and weโ€™re able to regain the natural achdus that bonds us. And thatโ€™s what weโ€™re meant to feel when we hold the dalet minim together in the focused environment of the succah, the ืฆื™ืœื ื“ืžื”ื™ืžื ื•ืชื.

Succos Ends, But the Simchah Continues

How can we take this clarity with us, as Succos comes to a close? The answer is that esek haTorah is the only anchor that keeps us rooted, as the tavlin for the yetzer hara and the conduit for dveikus with Hashem. Perhaps that is why the Geonim instituted that Succos ends with Simchas Torah, where we come to appreciate how privileged we are to have the gift of Torah. We dance our hearts out as we scream: ย ื‘ึธึผืจื•ึผืšึฐ ื”ื•ึผื ืึฑืœึนืงึตื™ื ื•ึผ ืฉึถืื‘ึฐึผืจึธืึธื ื•ึผ ืœึดื›ึฐื‘ื•ึนื“ื•ึน ื•ึฐื”ึดื‘ึฐื“ึดึผื™ืœึธื ื•ึผ ืžึดืŸ ื”ึทืชึผื•ึนืขึดื™ื ื•ึฐื ึธืชึทืŸ ืœึธื ื•ึผ ืชึผื•ึนืจึทืช ืึฑืžึถืช ื•ึฐื—ึทื™ึตึผื™ ืขื•ึนืœึธื ื ึธื˜ึทืข ื‘ึฐึผืชื•ึนื›ึตื ื•ึผ. We realize that our only chance to take this clarity and dveikus with us is through esek haTorah, and we take this day of Simchas Torah to appreciate and rejoice bโ€™simchas haTorah.

With this in mind we can understand the cryptic words of the Baal Haโ€™akeidah. The Gemara in Succah tells us that although one should perform all his main activities in the succah, thereโ€™s an exception: learning Torah. Rashi explains that learning Torah bโ€™iyun doesnโ€™t need to be done in a succah, and the Rishonim give numerous reasons why limud haTorah doesnโ€™t require a succah. The Baal Haโ€™akeidah says that this can be understood on a different level, however, as he says: Limud haTorah IS the succah! I think the message is clear: When a person sits and learns Torah, alone with the ืžืœืžื“ ืชื•ืจื” ืœืขืžื• ื™ืฉืจืืœ, he doesnโ€™t need the succah. He has the Torah that provides that clarity, focus, and dveikus in the Eibishter.

As we all enter our succos and experience the embrace of the ืฆื™ืœื ื“ืžื”ื™ืžื ื•ืชื, while continuing to feel the incredible joy of yashrus halev that remains with us after the avodah of the Yamim Noraโ€™im; as we bind together the dalet minim and experience the resulting achdus, both internally and interpersonally; and as we leave the diras keva of hevel havalim and enter the diras arai where every physical act is automatically ruchniyus, we can take a screenshot of this clarity, so to speak, capturing the way our physical faculties are meant to faithfully serve our real purpose of ruchniyus and fulfilling Hashemโ€™s will. That will allow us to feel the true simchah yeseirah of zman simchaseinu, and will hopefully give us the framework to take this avodah with us through our esek haTorah throughout the year.

Gut Yom Tov.
