Thinking personally about the various walls, literal and otherwise, which agoraphobia puts up for me: thanks for that prompt. I don’t know if it will make it go away - unlikely, given age and the length of time I’ve had it - but it has got me thinking, and maybe there will be wee things I can try to help myself with; and that’s a good thing. Chag sameach from Scotland and thanks again
What a beautiful way to start my Sukkot, Vanessa. Being Jews, of course we will disagree with each other about which walls between us and non-Jews are necessary, or commanded, but I applaud your audacity in suggesting that we each, as individuals, can consider when to build a build in a window through which to view the outside world, or walk out the door and get to know the wider world better. What I love about Sukkot is that we stop shutting Nature out. We take picnicking to a whole new level. Chag sameach.
And isn't the actual message, will we trust HaShem to take care of us?
Interesting. Great last line.
Best Sukkot drasha I've ever heard.
Thank you !!
Shabbat Shalom and
Chag Sukkot Sameach !
