On the First Night of Sukkos

Before you is the complete daily lesson as delivered by The Rav, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, on Wednesday night, the night of the 13th of Tishrei, after the Ma’ariv prayer:

‏“The 11th of Tishrei is Chesed shebeHod; the 12th of Tishrei—today—is Chesed shebeNetzach; tonight—now—Chesed shebeTiferes has begun. Tomorrow night will be Chesed shebeGevurah; it will be the night of the 14th. And after that will be the night of the 15th: the inner Chesed shebeChesed meets the surrounding Chesed shebeChesed—the sukkah is already the lights of the surrounding ohr, lights of Imma. The whole matter is that on Yom Kippur we ascend to Imma Ila’ah; we merit to rise to Imma Ila’ah, where everything is only dancing and songs. Therefore we say in the Haftarah: ‘You will yet adorn yourself with your tambourines and go out in the dance of those who rejoice; you will yet plant vineyards on the mountains of Shomron—planters will plant and redeem [their fruit].’ (Yirmiyahu 31:3–4)”.

To watch the replay of last night’s Ma’ariv prayer with singing and niggunim, the lesson begins at 55:16:
