A company, feeling it was time for a shakeup, hires a new CEO. This new boss is determined to rid the company of all slackers. On a tour of the facilities, the CEO notices a guy leaning on a wall. The room is full of workers and he wants to let them know he means business. The CEO walks up to the guy and asks, "And how much money do you make a week?" Undaunted, the young fellow looks at him and replies, "I make $600.00 a week, sir. Why?" The CEO then hands the guy $6,000 in cash and screams, "Here's ten week's pay, now GET OUT and don't come back! No room in this company for people just leaning against walls. Out of there!” Feeling pretty good about his first firing, the CEO looks around the room and asks, "Does anyone want to tell me what that goof-off did here?" With a sheepish grin, one of the other workers mutters, "Pizza delivery guy from Domino's. He was waiting for his tip."
WEEKLY eTORAH
"Your Sukkah of Peace" Our Sages associate the mitzvah of sukkah with unity, as may be seen by the phrase, "Your sukkah of peace," and in our Sages' statement that "All Israel are fit to dwell in one sukkah." Why is the sukkah associated with peace and unity? Chassidic thought explains that observing the mitzvah of sukkah draws down to this world a transcendent spiritual light whose revelation erases all differences between men and establishes a fundamental equality among them. Our world is characterized by differentiation. The mitzvah of sukkah is intended to suffuse the world with a G‑dly state of oneness that is, essentially, uncharacteristic of this diverse world. In another sense, the unity established by this mitzvah resolves the differences that exist between spirituality and material existence. From the perspective of the world, the two appear to be opposites. From G‑d's perspective, however, both the material and the spiritual are expressions of Himself and can be fused together harmoniously. The Ultimate Sukkah Our Rabbis explain that through dwelling in the sukkah we will merit the rebuilding of the Beis HaMikdash, as is implied by the verse, "And His sukkah will be in [Jeru]salem." The ultimate fusion between the material and the spiritual will take place in the Era of the Redemption and in particular, in the Beis HaMikdash, where the Divine Presence will be openly revealed. May this take place in the immediate future. -adapted from www.chabad.org
