What if we are entering Sukkos feeling more tapped into the uncertainty of life's winds, than the certainty of G-d's hug? </p><p><br></p><p>Today, we explore Sukkos as a full-body experience of faith, absorbed simply by showing up to be there. Shoshana shares how she envisioned herself in the Sukkah's embrace when she was curled up inside the radiation machine for cancer treatment, and teaches the deeper Torah behind how we can carry the Sukkah's lingering touch through the inevitable joy, uncertainty, illness and hiddenness that we experience in daily life. </p><p><br></p><p>* * * * * * *</p><p><br></p><p>Shoshana Judelman is passionate about learning and growing through Chassidus.
