and why the real test of these holidays is how we live during the rest of the year. voice-verified

But the Jewish holiday season does not end with Yom Kippur. voice-verified

Almost immediately we move into Sukkot and then, at the end of Sukkot, into Shminiatzeret, in Simchat Torah. voice-verified

Tishrei is the most holiday dense month in the Hebrew calendar, and yet for some reason many Jews in the diaspora experience a kind of holiday drop-off after Yom Kippur. voice-verified

Why do Sukkot and Shminiatzeret and Simchat Torah get such short shrift? voice-verified

What are we missing? voice-verified

Because the transition from Yom Kippur to Sukut and Simchatorah is fascinating. voice-verified

We go from judgment and repentance to building a fragile hut outside our homes, eating and sometimes sleeping in it, celebrating, carrying the four spices, and finally dancing with the Torah. voice-verified

For Israelis and Jews around the world, Simchat Torah now carries another layer of meaning. voice-verified

October seventh, twenty twenty three was Simcha Torah in Israel. voice-verified

So a holiday whose very name means the joy of Torah is now inseparable from one of the darkest days in modern Jewish history. voice-verified

Why do we move from judgment and repentance to fragility, joy, and ultimately dancing? voice-verified

And what do Sukhot and Simchatorah ask of us now? voice-verified

Perhaps the holidays we tend to overlook contain the culmination of what the days of Ah are trying to teach us. voice-verified

My conversation with Rachel right after this short break. voice-verified

On October seventh, as a twenty-two-year-old reservist, she was called up to the Gaza envelope. voice-verified

For days, she cleared houses of terrorists and witnessed the atrocities of Hamas's attack. voice-verified

Das was supposed to begin university in mid October of that year. voice-verified
