Take One: Sukkah 11 and 12

Today’s Daf Yomi pages, Sukkah 11 and 12, raise a thorny question: why, exactly, do we build those little huts on Sukkot? Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin joins us with a mystical teaching about the holiday's true meaning, and how it captures the dramatic trajectory of the Jewish people's relationship with God. So, are we even supposed to build actual sukkot on Sukkot? Listen and find out. Like the show? Send us a note at takeone@tabletmag.com.
