Hello Yichusdik and WIY,
Thank you for your beautiful metaphors Yichusdik and your website leads WIY!
Yichusdik, what you wrote is poetic and reminds me of a book I’m reading right now — The Sabbath by Abraham Joshua Heschel.
WIY, your questions are never stupid!! You may safely assume that a newbie like me is not familiar with even the most basic sources, so please please suggest away! I will check these sites out.
Having read over the various old Sukkos threads, I have a question that maybe someone in the CR can answer…where I live in the suburbs and country, safety in the Sukkah is not an issue. I am curious though, for those in a major metropolitan area like New York City, is anyone able to sleep in the Sukkah overnight? If so, how do people deal with safety threats posed by potential malfeasants in the city?
