THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS SZ Cultural Group Names Dr. Stulberg Chairman Friday, October 1, 1982 2{ 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 By RABBI SAMUEL FOX (Copyright 1982k JTA, Inc.) 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.
