One Sukkah, One Lulav, One People

The two central mitzvos of Sukkos, the sukkah and the Four Kinds, have at their core the theme of Jewish unity.

A sukkah is most beautiful when one fulfills the dictum of the Talmud, “All Israel is worthy to sit in one sukkah.”

Of the Four Kinds, the Midrash relates that they represent every single Jew without exception. Each of the four is indispensible, and when gathered all together they further underscore the interdependence of the Jewish people, “one nation in the land.”
