In this episode, "Sukkot in August: Building Spiritual Homes in a World of Comfort," (parashat Re'eh) we explore the tension between modern comforts, like air conditioning, and the ancient wisdom of Sukkot. In this sermon. delivered at Congregation Shaarei Kodesh, I discuss how our dependence on comfort has made us more insular, and how the festival of Sukkot invites us to reconnect with nature and each other. Maybe a bit of discomfort is what we need to live a sustainable life?
