Sherry and Rae (404) 252-0251 From Egypt to Sukkot Adapted from the works of Rabbi Menachc.n M Schnccrson. the Lubavitcher Rcbbe. by Rabbi Yossi New. Chabad of Georgia During the festival of Sukkot we are to dwell in the sukka, “...In order that your generations may know that I caused the children of Israel to dwell in sukkot when I took them out of the land of Egypt...” What is the idea of the exodus from Egypt in our own lives and how is it connected with living in a sukka? Every day, morning and even ing, each of us is obligated to view himself as if he had at that moment “left Egypt”—a reference to the “exodus” of the G-dly soul from the imprisonment of the body through Torah-study and mitzva- observance (and, in general, through “accepting the yoke of heaven,” i.e. submitting to G-d’s discipline). The Hebrew word for Egypt, mitzrayim, implies “straits” or “limitations.” The many plans that Man makes for the whole general course of his life form his “Egypt,” his limita tions, and his first step must be to exit from this Egypt. He must always be ready to put aside his preset plans, goals and timetables in order to study Torah at certain firmly established times and to daven (pray) properly—not rush through the prayers to “get them over with.” In this way he “Leaves Egypt.” Now follows the “splitting of the Red Sea.” For no sooner does a person begin to serve G-d, than many hindrances and difficulties present themselves to him, each appearing as insurmountable as the difficulties which beset the Israelites, at the Red Sea. How ever, if the individual will resolve to forge ahead with his service of G-d despite the difficulties, then G-d will "split the Red Sea” for him and remove seemingly insur mountable obstacles. Following the miracle of the Red Sea, the Al mighty brought Israel into the Sukka-booths. There is a parable which com pares the sukka to a swaddling sheet. The baby is cleansed from the surrounding dirt and wrapped in a clean sheet. The sheet not only protects the infant from outside infection but also helps straighten and strengthen his limbs. Having left his own “Egypt,” having deve loped the ability to disregard care fully laid plans in order to main tain his obligations to Torah, the person has undergone a cleansing process; his approach to his physi cal needs has become a more refined one. He may now enter the stage of “sukka”—an all encompassing, surrounding mitzva, which will keep dr* SEAFOOD, etc. Rabbi Schneerson him away from evil and will also provide internal, lasting spiritual strength for the rest of the year and the rest of his life—just like the swaddling sheet for the newborn baby. o American Heart T Association WE'RE FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE • Fresh Fish Daily • 25- 30 varieties • Special Orders Welcome • Fish scaled and filleted No Extra charge! 2275 Cheshire Bridge Rd.
