Why continue to build a flimsy Sukkah that can be blown over in the wind at any moment? Can't we just open a story book and read the story to our children or grandchildren? Why spend the time and money to put out that effort? Ok, the Torah tells us to do so but that was during, and in the time of the desert generation. Aren't we well past that moment in our history? That's what it is but it's not. It's not just about our history and development as a people. It's about our faith and its renewal. It's about our internal and eternal happiness, not being generated from someone who might sell you your best mattress ever and give you that fleeting sense of joy for 15 seconds or so.  We are in the market for true faith and true happiness, that's lasting and everlasting. Hence the Sukkah. The shaky, unsteady Sukkah reminds us of our everlasting story of our faith and trust in Gd. When it waxed and when it waned, we were still able to find a spark of faith and tap into our glimpse and spark of happiness.  May you withstand the winds that shake you to the core and experience that vulnerability one more time. May you find within yourself the faith of Gd and true happiness that exist in all of us, gifts from Gd.  Shalom, Rabbi Claire Ginsburg Goldstein Covid 2020
