Entry/Object ID

Scope and Content

Looking back to Yom Kippur and forward to Sukkot, Rabbi Ingber speaks of the joy that goes along with Sukkot. The releasing of anxiety from the previous holidays and the celebrating of the first fruits from a successful harvest. He specifically points out that people may feel impotent in experiencing the joy and have trouble letting themselves full enjoy the feeling. Via Rabbi Alan Lew, he then discusses the sexual imagery associated with the holiday.
