How can embracing vulnerability lead to a deeper sense of joy during Sukkot?

In this episode, Zvi Hirschfield and Rabbi Dr. Meesh Hammer-Kossoy delve into the paradox of Sukkot, exploring how vulnerability and joy are deeply intertwined in the festival. They discuss how the temporary nature of the sukkah highlights the fragility of life and how embracing that fragility can lead to a deeper connection with God and greater joy. Through poetry and classical texts, they uncover the spiritual richness that comes from living in the balance of uncertainty and divine protection.
