Basuccot Teishvu

5733

This discourse was delivered by the Rebbe on Succot, 5733 (1972). The command to 'dwell in Succot for seven days' contains apparent contradictions: a Succah is temporary, yet 'dwelling' and 'seven days' suggest permanence. The discourse explores how the Succah resolves the tension between the surrounding radiance and the inner light, and between the temporary and the eternal, expressing a uniquely elevated spiritual state that combines opposites.
