There's no need to feel like an idiot...Abouna, <br />There's no need to feel like an idiot. It was something new to you. And most sukkahs DO look kinda funny. I think you should be proud that you brought laughter to their lives that day. Setting up the sukkah can be difficult and aggravating....you performed a mitzvot and didn't even know it! You brought laughter to someone else's life. What a blessing you are!

I remember wandering over and asking them if their toilet was broken. They said no, why? I said then how come your building an out-house?<br /><br />They had a good laugh and then explained what it was.<br /><br />When I think back on it, I feel like such an idiot.Most Rev.

And the whole feeling while following the commandment laid out in Leviticus 23 is that you really ARE sitting in His lap, getting a hug from Him. It's wonderful!!!!!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17108516587512383397noreply@blogger.com
