  1. Of all the festivals of the TorahSukkos is arguably the most elusive.

    On the one hand, we refer to it as “zman simchaseinu,” the quintessential time of celebration. Yet on the other hand, it is not clear what exactly we are celebrating.

    The mitzvos of the festival are likewise enigmatic.

    • What lies behind the mitzvos of sukkah and the four species, with all their specifications and details?
    • · What is the reason for the special water libation in the Beis Hamikdash, and why was it accompanied by such great festivity?
    • · Where do Shemini Atzeres and Simchas Torah fit in with all of this?
    • · And what about Hoshanos, Koheles, Ushpizin, and Hoshana Rabbah?

    Drawing on a broad range of classical sources from across the generations, this book provides the reader with new and profound insight into all the above elements, as well as how they come together to form the “symphony of Sukkos.”

    “Overflowing with insight…gives the reader the opportunity to attain a deeper connection with the holy days of Sukkos.”

    Harav Asher Weiss

    “Discusses all aspects of the moed of simchah…we gain an overarching sense of the broader meaning of this Yom Tov.”

    Harav Ahron Lopiansky

    THIS LIGHT, the light from the ohr ha’ganuz (the hidden light) was originally revealed in the sifrei Maharal. After centuries of neglect, it was rekindled for the Torah world by the appearance of the famous maamarim of Hagaon Harav Yitzchak Hutner, zt”l, and recorded in his sefarim, Pachad Yitzchak.

    “He was planted in this generation to bring light to the world and all who dwell in it - a new light”

    (From the inscription on his tombstone)

    A commentary to enlighten the hearts of the probers of Torah. The spirit of Rav Hutner is evident.

    He has plumbed the depths of the deep waters of Torah, and drawn its secrets, with acumen and richness.

    Rav Yonasan David

    His very being is suffused to the source - the well of pure waters, the Torah of Rav Yitzchock Hutner.
    Rav Alster himself has become a well of pure waters.

  8. I was totally mesmerized by this outstanding, extraordinary original and creative analysis of the role the Shalosh Regalim play in representing the most fundamental elements of Jewish faith. In this work, which is organized, compelling, and full of deep wisdom, Rabbi Neil Lauer combines highly rigorous halakhic analysis with deeply thoughtful homiletical insights in a most seamless and clearly presented way. He extracts great wisdom hitherto hidden in plain sight on these important celebrations as well as on a multitude of other Jewish concepts and practices. Over and over again I found myself saying, “I knew this source, but never realized its true full meaning and significance. Of course, now it is obvious.” We owe Rabbi Lauer a great debt for the exceptional gift he has given us. Your understanding and appreciation of the Shalosh Regalim, like mine, will never be the same again.

    Rabbi Jacob J. Schacter

    Eye opening insights that will benefit scholar and layman alike. Will most certainly enhance the spiritual pleasure of the hagim.
