As soon as Yom Kippur ends, we move from the realm of the soul and plant our feet firmly back on the ground.

For seven days we eat (and for some, sleep) in a sukkah, a makeshift hut that is just susceptible enough to the elements to remind us of our vulnerability and also the blessings of security.
