housing crisis
I hate to beat a dead horse, but this is so relevant for those of us who may (or may not) loose our homes this coming year. Nothing is permanent, and the sooner we realize this, the happier we will be.

it's how we furnish our souls
On this most beautiful of holidays, that is arriving, I am thinking, in anticipation, of heaven and its relationship to the word "haven" because surely they are "close" as you have so beautifully stated in your own words. Look at the stars and how they shine for you... For me, it's a story that's about the music, and in that chiming, that shining, I honestly believe we are, eternal and that soul keeps that journey. We never truly arrive, and it's about the journey, and the AWE and sukkot is so about the awe, and what we harvest.

So eloquently put.
I always am fascinated by the beautiful words of wisdom that you express in these videos. May Hashem continue to give you the strength and wisdom to deliver many more dynamic points of view. As far as I can remember, Succos has always been my favorite Chag. Have a happy, healthy and spiritual New Year.
