Sukkot begins this Mon. night, Sep. 20. Torah reading for Sukkot on 1st day (Tues) is from Emor; Chol HaMoed readings are from Pinchas. Sukkot tefilot include: full Hallel, Hoshanot & waving of the Lulav in Hallel (E-S-W-N then up & down is the main custom). Tefilin (at least in Israel) are not worn. On Fri. night Chol HaMoed, Kabbalat Shabbat is abridged; Kiddush & dinner are in the Sukka. Arba Minim are not taken on Shabbat.

Sun. night-Monday is Hoshana Raba. Many stay awake & study all night. Morning Tefila includes 7 processions with the Lulav & Hoshanot, beating the willow 5 times. In Israel, Tues. (Oct. 29)is Shmini Azeret - Simchat Torah. Candles & Kiddush include Shehecheyanu. We no longer use the Sukka. Tefila includes 7 Hakafot, dancing w/Sifrei Torah night & day; aliyot to all; Yizkor, & Tefilat Geshem (Mashiv Ha-Ruach begins).

(Outside of Israel, Shmini Atzeret - when Yizkor is said - is Tuesday, Sep. 28; Simchat Torah is Wed. Sep. 29)

"Beyond Either-Or"

Rav Kook's Uniting the Opposites, Sinai & the Tefilin's Shi"n

Many have summarized Rav Kook's ideology as "Uniting the Opposites", and this classic class elaborates on the idea via the Shi"n on the Head-Tefilin and the concept of "Laws given orally to Moshe at Sinai". A very basic class in Rav Kook's thought.

Rabbi Ari Shvat | Shevat 5786

WHAT CONVINCED YITRO MAY SWAY THE ANTI-ISRAEL TOO

We find that Yitro was convinced to follow the G-d of Israel for "Now I know that the Lord is greater than all the deities, for (precisely) with the thing that they plotted, [G-d brought] upon them(selves) (18, 11)." Rashi explains that the Egyptians drowned the boys of Israel, so in the end, G-d drowned their men as well. Why was this "Midah k'negged mida" (literally: "a measure for a measure)- so convincing for Yitro, even convincing him to actually change his life & join Israel? Similarly, this can help us understand why this theme of "V'Nahafoch hu…" (literally: "it was reversed", that the Megila flips everything Haman planned to do Israel, 180 degrees and brings upon Haman himself is so central also to Megilat Esther & the forthcoming holiday of Purim? We are not just speaking of irony, but of justice.

The Moral Benefits of Agriculture- Tu B'Shvat

The tanna R. Elazar writes that in the ideal world, all of us will participate in some form of agriculture, and that "a man without land is not a man". Aside from the mitzva of settling the Land of Israel, an overview of many quotes from R. Elazar will innovatively (but obviously) explain the many moral benefits (even in America!) of doing some gardening and having a deeper understanding of Tu B'Shvat.

Orchot Tzaddikim- class 78, Teshuva part ix

The class deals with especially interesting aspects of Teshuva (we're skipping and just doing the most interesting parts of the remainder of this chapter), including how G-d really helps us in this effort, and as opposed to man, He will accept us even if we have ulterior motives!

Ten Commandment Comparison

Many have attempted to solve the question, what is THE difference which can find the common denominator between all 31 differences between the 2 versions of the Ten Commandment? This innovative article suggests that our sages already answered this with one sentence in a well-known Midrash, just most never noticed that seemingly innocent sentence. It deals with the basic difference between the masculine side of the Torah and the feminine.

“Honor Requires an Audience”+ Tu B'Shvat

Rav Kook makes some very interesting "diyukim" (deductions) from this passage in the Talmud about when to wash or moisterize (with oil) right before left, and regarding anointing one's entire body, and relates to small "timely" fixings, as opposed to general improvement.
