Reply To: What is the Sukkah all about?

One of the clearest ideas on the meaning of the sukkah that I have learned is the concept that for these 7 days we recognize the fragility of our existence, and the dependence we have on the almighty for protection and sustenance. The sukkah is transient, temporary, and not “strong”. We put ourselves at the mercy of the elements and demonstrate our reliance on Hashem.
