Why do we build a Sukkah

 

Why do we build a Sukkah? Well the real question you should be asking is: What does a sukkah represent? WELL, a long time ago there was the Israelite people.  The Israelites had gone through a whole lot of stuff running away from Egypt including: slavery, plagues, being chased and eventually the Red Sea opening up to guide the Israelites to the other side of the Red Sea . Eventually, they ,made it to the HOT HOT desert. In this desert they were getting  really hot and starting to have their bodies get too hot that they could die! Then G-O-D made: THE CLOUD OF GLORY.  This so called Cloud of Glory shielded the Israelites from all the deadly things on the outside of the cloud.

SO we build our sukkahs every year to represent that cloud protecting us.
