Rabbi Dr. Akiva Tatz on the Simcha of Sukkot

Rabbi Dr. Akiva Tatz has returned to “613 Books” Podcast as host Heather Dean’s featured guest, this time to get into the festivities of Sukkot. That includes explaining exactly why Sukkot is considered the happiest time on the Jewish calendar, and how this fits in with the Jewish definition of Happiness. And if the weather is too inclement in your part of the world to dwell in a sukka, Rabbi Tatz illuminates how you can still be b’simcha on the festival. PLUS author and lecturer Sara Blau tells us about the inspiring book on her reading table! SUBSCRIBE to “613 Books” Podcast and discover new books every week!
