Rabbi Eliyahu Maksumov - The Clouds of Glory - Unconditional Love

for seven days and nights is a commemorative Mitzvah it's a Mitzvah that serves as a reminder that Hashem has provided for us this miraculous clouds called the ananya covered that traveled with us throughout our 40 years Expedition within the desert however this is according to the opinion of Rabbi elizer according to the view of Rabbi Kiva the sukkah is to commemorate the actual Huts that the Jewish people resided in within the 40 years travel in the desert but the question is asked why do we focus so much on the online why don't we make so much of a noise or a big deal about the fact that Hashem sent us down the man the Heavenly bread that sustained us throughout our 40 years travel within the desert why don't we make so much of a big deal about the Belgian Miriam The Well of Miriam a supernatural miraculous well that traveled with us and provided for us water throughout our 40 years Expedition I'd like to share with you three answers that will help us understand what makes the ananyakovitz special and why we do not commemorate the man nor the well the first answer is because although we want to express a gratitude to Hashem for providing for us the miraculous well and the Heavenly bread that sustained us but these two miracles were the cause of our sins we complained at some points throughout the desert because of the lack of food or because we weren't happy with the food that Hashem provided for us we weren't happy with them on and we complained about the the insufficient water and because this reminds Hashem of our sins as our procedures have taught us a prosecutor cannot stand as a Defender he cannot stand as an advocate and because we don't want to remind Hashem of our sins we do not commemorate the man nor do we commemorate the second explanation is what makes the anonymous more special is that would was only provided for the Jewish people it was not provided for the air of RAV the Egyptians that converted to Judaism enjoyed the bandwagon as we left Egypt it was only special made for the Jewish people and because it was just for us one express our gratitude to Hashem then Hashem yes you provided for us water and you provided for us bread it's provided for our sustenance from the heavens but this was a gift that was given to us and to the air of Wrath but we want to show you that you gave us something extra and we want to express our gratitude for that and that would be the other the third explanation is my favorite one the third explanation is because water and food is a necessity you cannot survive without it but the Clouds Of Glory that was a luxury Hashem went the extra mile to provide for us these clouds that washed our clothes that took care of us that showered us that was really just an extra item we didn't have to have the Clouds Of Glory we could have gotten through the desert without the Clouds Of Glory yes the food of course has a necessity necessity we will not be able to survive without of course the water is a necessity that we cannot survive without but Hashem he provided for us only solely because you love us and because we want to remember how much Hashem loves us we specifically choose to commemorate the ananya cupboard the Zora teaches us that the sukkah is the shade of Faith it's here to remind us how much Hashem loves this how much Hashem cares for us and even at points in our lives when sometimes we feel like Hashem God forbid forgotten about us soccer reminds us that Hashem loves us so much that he would provide for us even extra and will go beyond for us and he would do everything to make us happy even if we might not deserve it and yet Hashem made sure to provide it for us throughout the 40 years although we might have complained about the water and although we might have complain about the food but Hashem continues to provide for us every single day and that is the great lesson may we reciprocate the law of Hashem showers upon us and may we show our gratitude to Ashanti Sukkot by sitting in the Suka appreciating everything that Hashem does for us throughout our entire lives and express our gratitude and really come to a point where we realize that everything Hashem does is truly out of love
