What's the most Joyous Holiday on the Jewish Calendar? (S3, E04)

from Judaism in the 21st Century · host Steven Labkoff, MD & Rabbi Daniel Cohen

As we move from Yom Kippur into Sukkot, Rabbi Daniel Cohen and Dr. Steven Labkoff explore what true joy means in Judaism — and why Sukkot, not Purim, is considered the most joyous time of the year. Through stories from Torah, insights from the Talmud, and reflections on modern life, the conversation draws connections between ancient wisdom and our 21st-century world.Discover how Sukkot’s simple rituals — eating outdoors, welcoming guests, and appreciating nature — invite us to find happiness not in possessions or achievements, but in presence, gratitude, and wonder. A reminder that even in an age of constant motion and technology, the purest joy may still come from the simplest moments.
