All the holidays celebrated by the nation of Israel are derived from the science of Kabbalah. The Sukkot holiday is a symbol of the spiritual Kli.

We must build such a form out of our desire to receive that the Creator can clothe in and reveal Himself in it so that we understand who the Creator is, what He wants from us, how we can be in connection with Him, and how to rise from our degree of creation, from the level of dust, to a level similar to the Creator.

And to do this, we need to know how to build our Kli from the material of desire with the help of the restriction, the screen, and the reflected light.

The Sukkah is a symbol of the corrected Kli. This is a structure that serves as a model of our inner spiritual vessel. Therefore, there is a custom on the holiday of Sukkot to build a structure, not within our heart or the connection of hearts, but to build a Sukkah in an external form as a symbol of a corrected heart, a corrected soul.

The Sukkah is built from the simplest natural material. Iron or concrete cannot be used for its construction, but only wood, stones, branches, and leaves, things that the earth gives. This is how we build our corrected Kli, soul, in the form of a hut, a Sukkah. Like a child’s game, we build the desired spiritual state in material form.

Based on the details of the construction of the Sukkah described by Kabbalists, we can understand what a soul is, what it consists of, and what states it passes through.

Baal HaSulam and Rabash were very sensitive to this holiday and took care to build a good, beautiful Sukkah because it identifies a person’s attitude to correcting his soul.

Sukkot symbolizes that we have reached the corrected Kli in which there are four degrees, the four walls of the Sukkah, and the screen on the whole desire to receive, which is called “Shach,” the roof of the Sukkah. We are inside the Sukkah, inside the soul, and nothing remains outside because we have corrected the whole soul and we connect with the Creator inside it.

During the seven days of the Sukkot holiday, we invite guests to the Sukkah, the seven Sefirot. Keter, Hochma, and Bina are above the roof of the Sukkah, and under the roof are the Sefirot Hesed, Gevura, Tiferet, Netzach, Hod, Yesod, and Malchut. This is how we celebrate the entry of light from the degree of GAR into the VAK, into the body of the soul.
