vfxc cakL’shav b’SukkahTO FEEL THE JOY OF SUKKOTWhile rejoicing is enjoined for all festivals, in the case of Sukkot an extra measureof enjoyment was prescribed: “And thou shalt rejoice in thy festival … andthou shalt be altogether joyful” (Deut. 16:14-16).“Why do the children of Israel make a Sukkah? For the miracles that Godwrought for them when they went out of Egypt, surrounding them with cloudsof glory and shielding them, as it is said: ‘For I make the children of Israel dwellin booths’ (Lev.23:43). The Holy One, blessed be He, said to them: ‘My children,make ye booths and dwell in them seven days that ye may be reminded of themiracles I wrought for you in the desert’ ” (Pesiqta deRav Kahana).“The Sukkah is designed to warn us that man is not to put his trust in the size or strength or beauty of his home,though it be filled with all precious things; nor must he rely upon the help of any human being, however powerful. Butlet him put his trust in the great God whose word called the universe into being, for He alone is mighty, and His promisesalone are sure” (Isaac Aboab, Menorat Hama’or).1.

younger generationnursery schoolCHERYL KARPWhat do mass murderers, felony drunk drivers, starvingchildren, head banging laboratory animals, anxious,overworked students, and reptiles have in common?They don’t play. What do most Nobel Laureates, historicallyrenowned creative artists, successful multicareerentrepreneurs, and animals of superior intelligencehave in common? They are full of play throughouttheir lives.Most of us do not spend much time pondering thesubject of play or consider it as basic as say, oxygen orsleep. Hold your breath for 45 seconds and your bodywill scream for air. Stay awake for two full days andevery cell will ache for sleep. When an adult missesplay for a few days about all that seems to happen isthat life loses its brightness and sense of purpose. Butbe seriously deprived of play in childhood and the consequencesare likely to be dire, though delayed.Every child engages in spontaneous play. From thefirst moments of post feeding nipple play, to the sharedbabbling between parent and child, to peek-a-boo andring around the rosy, any healthy child is energized byand finds its waking hours dominated by play. Snowleopards box, sea lions play tug of war, killer whalestease sea gulls and wolves play with each other. Andhumans? Well, we are the champions of play, designedby biology for play through all of our lives, but sculptedby culture as to its adult forms.Play and games seem necessary for the developmentof community which requires mutual trust, cooperation,and common goal setting. For humans, play isalso surprisingly active in the shaping of one’s ownsense of self, and thus is directly related to mentalhealth and elasticity, It is also the means by which weshape a model world.The growing virtual world, which is now often beingseen as the only reality in which we exist, is at base, aplay-imaginary world.Witness a monkey leaping and pirouetting gleefullyfrom a tree into a pond while looking at peers and playcan be seen as art in action. So, it appears that naturehas provided us options we do not always appreciate orincorporate into our lives. Perhaps the time has comefor us to allow its wisdom to be enacted.Go PLAY!“When your time comes and your whole life flashesbefore you—will it hold your interest?”religious schoolDAVID WOOLFERemember when you were smalland you would build a fort with pillowsand blankets? Or, you wouldturn a corner of your room into aspecial space to have a tea party withfriends or dolls (or friendly dolls)?Remember when you carved outspecial places to read a book, or tojust sit and dream?We all created such wonderful “safe” places for ourimaginations to run free and our spirits to feel safe.Small sanctuaries where we could be the people wewanted to be. At Sukkot, I think of these small sanctuariesbecause that is what sukkot are, small, specialsanctuaries. The Children of Israel used them to allowtheir families to be safe during the harvest. Most of usdon’t do much of that kind of harvesting anymore, butall of us want to keep our families safe.We all understand the appeal of sukkot.Why not build your own sukkah or take advantage ofone of the sukkot at the synagogue? Revisit the comfortand familiarity of a small sanctuary and demonstrate toyour children (and yourselves) that such wonderfulplaces continue to exist.page 16 OCTOBER 2008www.herjc.orgHAKOL
