Episode Details

In this episode, we step into the leafy, cozy world of the sukkah—the temporary hut that turns backyards, balconies, and driveways into joyful holiday spaces every fall. We'll explore why Jews leave their solid homes for a week to eat (and sometimes sleep) under a roof of branches, what this fragile structure symbolizes, and how a simple booth becomes a powerful reminder of history, humility, and gratitude. From creative decorations to halachic debates about what counts as a wall, we'll take a warm, whimsical tour of one of Judaism's most hands-on mitzvot. Pull up a chair—the sukkah awaits.
