Historical Reasons Behind Holiday Use of Sukka
One opinion in the com-
mentaries takes this state-
ment literally. The sukka
would thus be a reminder of
the Exodus. Following the
Exodus which took place in
the spring, the people did
not begin to make such shel-
ters as the sukka until the
cool fall weather began to
set in.
One of the Midrashic
sources (Numbers Rabba
14:8 )relates that the Al-
mighty Himself provided
the wandering Israelites
with the sukka shelters
because their forefather
Abraham had provided

shelter for travelers in his
day. Another source tells
us that Jacob built and
lived in a sukka after he
fled from Laban.
Another Midrashic
source (P'sikta D'Rab
Kahana 28) tells us that the
practice of sitting in the
sukka comes after Yom
Kippur because if the judg-
ment that was actually re-
ndered on Yom Kippur con-
tained a decree that the
people would again be
homeless, then they dwell
in the sukka for the dura-
tion of the Sukkot holiday
week so that this experience
would fulfill the decree and
tehy would be then spared
further homelessness.
There is still another exp-
lanation of the Biable's
reason for sukkot. Instead of
explaining that the Al-
mighty had the Hebrews
live in booths this source
says that the sukkot repre-
sent the Divine Clouds of
Glory with which the Al-
mighty protected the Jews
in the wilderness and
through which the Hebrews
knew what direction to take
by following these clouds
which flourished above
them and led the way.

Book Describes
Family Ordeal
"Intensive Care: A Fam-
ily Love Story" (Random
House) is Mary-Lou Weis-
man's chronicle of her son's
slow death due to muscular
cancer and the effect Peter's
illness had on her family.
Mrs. Weisman captures
the events that altered her
family forever when it was
learned that her son was dy-
ing. The strains on their
marriage as both parents
came to terms with their
anguish; the tensions that
13 years of living with a
"terminal" patient pro-
duced; and the hilarity that
sometimes burst through
are all presented in an hon-
est style.
Mrs. Weisman has writ-
ten feature articles for a
number of national publica-
tions including the New
York Times and Vogue. She
teaches writing at Fairfield
University in Connecticut.
