	Joy and Succot
		Succot does appear to have two opposite intentions, two very different feelings we are intended to experience.
		In some interpretations Succot is the final of three stages, from Shavuous through the High Holidays to Succot, of absorbing the purpose of Torah into knowledge and understanding, a final stage that cannot be reached without the atonement and redemption at Yom Kippur.
		Succot is the only one of three festivals on which the Bible enjoins us to rejoice.

		Succot is one of the holidays that reminds us why it is so special to live in Israel.
		As we walk down the street, people wave from the doorways of their succot and invite us in for a cookie or a drink, just as Abraham did from the doorway of his tent.

	Al Regel Achat - Succot 5763/2003 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
		In its commandment of the mitzvah of succot, the Torah states that all generations should know that “b’succot hoshavti.” Instead of using the simpler phrase “b’succot yeshvu,” the Torah specifically uses a form of the verb that stresses Hashem’s involvement in the succot of the desert.
		The “major cycle” is that of the Three Regalim (Pesach, Shavuot and Succot), while the “minor cycle,” inserted in the middle of the major one, is that of the holidays of the month of Tishrei (Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur and Succot).
		Not only is Succot one of the Three Regalim, relevant to us as members of the Jewish nation, but it is also one of the festivals of Tishrei, relevant to not only the Jewish nation but to mankind universally.

		Although this custom is often understood as simply a great way to 'get off to a good start', ["m'chayil el chayil"], it may also allude to something more significant.
		Now, considering that Bnei Yisrael lived in "succot" for some forty years in the desert, there appears to be no 'historical' reason to prefer celebrating this holiday in Tishrei over any other month.
		Nonetheless, the Torah insists that we celebrate Succot in the fall, at the culmination of the harvest season.

	Jampacked Bible - The Booth is out there
		Succot (known by R.E. teachers everywhere as The Feast of Tabernacles) is one of the three Pilgrim Festivals, along with Pesach and Shavuot, that are spoken about in the Torah.
		Succot begins on the fifteenth day of the Hebrew month of Tishrei (which usually falls some time in Septembr or October) and lasts for 8 days in Israel and in Reform and Liberal communities, and 9 days for Orthodox communities in the Diaspora.
		The festival of Succot commemorates the protection given by God to the Israelites during their wanderings through the wilderness after the Exodus from Egypt and their freedom from slavery (for more or this, see Book 1 Chapter 5 of the Jampacked Bible).

		In the same spirit, Rabbi Yohanan declares that the destruction of the Temple by the Romans is a calamity for the gentiles as well as the Jews, because it was there on Succot that Jews solicited God to forgive all the nations.
		To complete the picture, I need to mention that ascribing to Succot a universal thrust was probably facilitated by two prior factors: First, it was common for the Rabbis to refer to the rest of humanity in terms of the round number 70.
		What prompted Rashi to convert Succot from an expression of generous universalism to nasty particularism, I believe, was the experience of the First Crusade in 1096 which he witnessed toward the end of his life.

	Succot
		Succot is a festival with two purposes - to celebrate the harvest, and to commemorate the wanderings in the desert of the people of Israel.
		As well as being a harvest festival, Succot also helps us remember the travelling of the Israelites through the desert - when they stopped at a place called Succot they made themselves temporary shelters, from where we get the Succah.
		We are commanded to buid ourselves these "booths" - temporary dwellings - in which we must live for the duration of the festival.

		Succot, or the Feast of Tabernacles, is observed on the 15th day of theJewish month of Tishrei, and lasts for 7 days.
		During the evenings of the Succot Holiday, water was brought in a golden flask with great ceremony and procession from the Gihon Spring (the Pool of Shiloach [Siloam]) south of the Temple Mount to the Temple.
		Using the Succot model or Yeshua's birth allows us to place his circumcision on this eighth day, which seems fitting for several reasons, the chief among them being that Yeshua is the embodiment of the eternal Torah, which eventually will be written on our hearts as foretold by the Prophets.

		And even today, Succot retains a special place in the hearts of Jews in Israel, as attested to by the succot going up everywhere, in religious and secular neighborhoods alike.
		The climax of the Simhat Beit Hashoeva in the times of the Temple was the pouring of the water libation on the altar, from which it flowed back to the same spring from which it was originally drawn - a never-ending cycle representing the connection to the eternal God, the well- spring of all existence.

		Succot reminds us that G-d protected the Jews with clouds of 'glory' for the entire forty years they were in the desert.
		The reason that Succot occurs when it does is because hopefully we will be so pure-minded after the intense prayers and soul searching of Rosh HaShanna and Yom Kippur that we will realize the awesome lesson this holiday is teaching us.

		The celebration of Succot is particularly joyous and its symbols are especially sweet and plentiful reminding us of the successful harvest season.

		The connection can also be seen in the fact that the service of Hoshana Rabba, the seventh day of Succot, is structured to parallel aspects of the Yom Kippur service, including the liturgical chants, and encourages all officiants and congregants to wear the white Yom Kippur kittel.
		Now all the symbolic aspects of Succot, from the temporary nature of the succa itself to the slow-but-sure decay of the Four Species, to the sobriety of Kohelet all reminding us that in this world we are merely guests stopping by for a night.
		Hence Succot has not only given us the final weapon in our battle against the evil impulse, but it teaches us how to truly live joyously, how to see life in proper perspective, how to enjoy every moment and every possibility.

		During the holiday of Succot we “shake” four species, as prescribed in the Torah and explained by the Sages - one palm, two willows, three myrtle and one citron.
		A beautiful correspondence to this idea of creating unity through the four species, and by extension, the underlying concept of Succot itself, is found in the quest for the unified filed theory in modern science.
		Succot is the culminating stage in the process of introspection and return to God, beginning during the month of Elul and intensifying through the Days of Awe - Rosh Hashanah, the Ten Days of Repentance and Yom Kippur.
