Rabbi Hannah Spiro, Hill Havurah, Washington, DC, House prayer, September 24, 2018
Rabbi Hannah Spiro, Hill Havurah, Washington, D.C: God, we thank You for the Jewish festival of Sukkot, which begins today, and for Your commandment to build temporary structures, to eat and sleep in them under the stars, and to welcome in guests--honored guests, guests in need.

Your festival teaches us to come to terms with impermanence--of these temporary structures, our actual homes, our wealth, our social standing, and even our lives. When we remember, as Ecclesiastes teaches, that we came from dust and will return to it, we can't possibly feel justified in holding on to our resources with a clenched fist.
