Shorts: Shemini Atzeret - One More Day
Shemini Atzeres - Hashem says one more day
Why do we have Shemini Atzeres? One more day. How come by Pesach we do not have it? Sukkos means you are His guest. Now, you are leaving, and the Ribbono Shel Olam says: One more day! The same way on Yom Kippur we say to the Ribbono Shel Olam, one more minute by neilah. The Ribbono Shel Olam says by Shemini Atzeres One more minute! One more day! It's all connecting to the Eibershter. It starts with Rosh Hashanah, continues with Yom Kippur. Ne'ilah. Ne'ilah means Ribbono Shel Olam, one more minute before You leave. So you know what the Ribbono Shel Olam says? Okay, now, I'm giving you an invitation to come to Me. That's Sukkos. I'm going back up. Now's your chance to come to Me, visit Me, so we visit the Eibershter in the sukkah. "V'samachta lifnei Hashem." Then the Eibershter says just like by Ne'ilah you asked Me for one more day, for one more minute I'm begging you back in return give Me one more day; Shemini Atzeres. Chazal tell us about Shemini Atzeres and Simchas Torah, "nagilah v'nis'michah bach." Who are we happy with? with the Eibershter. There is a connection by Shemini Atzeres, such a connection that it's kasheh alai pridas'chem. The same way you said kasheh alai pridas'chem on Yom Kippur, I tell you at the end of Sukkos: kasheh alai pridas'chem! This, Rabbosai, gives us a picture of what the Yid should feel. The closeness to the Eibershter. Try to experience it when you sit in the sukkah, and you take a lulav and esrog. Try not to make it menial. People sit in the sukkah, and they talk who knows what and they fight about this and that. The bickering, the issues they are small things. Let us sit in the sukkah and experience the love and warmth of Avinu. B'tzila d'meihemenusa. Our father takes care of us.
