Shavuah Tov! On the intermediate days of Sukkot we should be as happy as possible. On Sukkot we celebrate the connection of our indispensable purpose in life and our connection to our divine mission. When we recognize how precious life is and we see it as a gift and a privilege we will always feel happy.
This is why Sukkot is known as “the time of our rejoicing,” because we not only celebrate together but we acknowledge that to be alive is a blessing that gives us the opportunity that we ourselves become blessings too.
Sometimes darkness and sadness come into our lives, the antidote to fight these feelings is to rejoice in the fact that we are here and we can experience the unity, love and care of so many people. This is a message of hope that there is a lot of light in our world despite the pain.The darkness is only there to let us see the light. Like a painting, if there are no shades there will be no light.
