The festival of Sukkot arrives to us with simcha (joy), despite everything happening around us. The entire nation of Israel is in lockdown and our teacher, the esteemed tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, is still behind bars without any trial. Nevertheless, we are commanded "And you shall rejoice in your festival, you and your son and your daughter and your servant and your maidservant and the Levite and the stranger and the orphan and the widow who are within your gates" (Deuteronomy 16:14). As our teacher Rav Berland said, we must have self-sacrifice to always be in simcha.

R' Aharon Schwartz in a sacred call before the festival of Sukkot is sanctified upon us - to come to the protest in the sukkah in Tzalmon, these are his words.

"I am here in Tiberias at the police station and working to obtain permits for the planned protest in the sukkah in Tzalmon."

"The protest will take place on Tuesday, the 18th of Tishrei, 6.10.20, everyone knows this is the yahrzeit of our Rebbe."

"We are organizing a large sukkah from eight in the morning until eight in the evening, everyone can come here and receive a meal in honor of the yahrzeit. To hold a feast, recite the Tikkun HaKlali, and of course participate in the protest vigil in the sukkah."

"The event naturally includes "receiving the face of his teacher on the festival" ("Rabbi Yitzchak said that a person is obligated to receive the face of his teacher on the festival" Babylonian Talmud, Rosh Hashanah 15)

No one should be absent
