When we sit in the sukkah, we experience our vulnerability, but we feel safe because we sense G‑d’s surrounding presence… We learn that all the external structures we build in our lives to protect ourselves from the experience of our vulnerability are unnecessary. Furthermore, they separate us from our true selves, from other people, and from G‑d…The sukkah imparts a deep teaching more powerful than words alone could ever convey. In truth, all human beings are children of G‑d and the world is G‑d’s house.
—Melinda Ribner
