Scope and Content
Rabbi Ingber begins by discussing the Intermediate Nights of Sukkot and Chol Hamoed. He continues that Sukkot is the holiday of circles, and everything repeats itself as the end of the Torah is reached and it is approaching starting over at the beginning. People desire to escape the tyranny of circles. He continues by discussing Moses death and how he could be possible recording it, settling upon the idea that Moses is writing about his death in a mixture of tears and ink. It is both a holiday of joy and sorrow. He concludes that though life can be unbearable, they are unbreakable.
