The Sukkah is made of four walls and a thatch. We should understand the meaning of walls and the thatch, which is waste of barns and vineyard. It is known that there are four sides, and above and below. These are called HGT and Malchut, and Netzach above and Hod below. (Rabash, Assorted Notes 892, “An Article for Sukkot”).

The thatch (roof or covering) of the Sukkah symbolizes the screen, which is the most essential part of the Sukkah. The four walls represent the conditions necessary for us to have a screen over us, meaning we must follow the rules for building a Sukkah.

Building a Sukkah means constructing the soul under new conditions. When we build it and complete the construction, we receive a corrected soul, which we essentially built by ourselves according to spiritual laws but with the forces received from above.

Question: Should each person build their own Sukkah, or should we do it together? What do you recommend?

Answer: You do not have to build a physical Sukkah, instead imagine that you are ready to stay in this state for an entire week, doing everything necessary because it is your inner state.

I think by next year, we will be ready to build a spiritual Sukkah between us, and then we will feel that we are inside it.
