Thank you for the examples!! What about … eggs vs eggs with double yolks? #ParshaChat

That’s fascinating! #ParshaChat

But this verse reinforces the idea the being a Jew is about DOING rather than just believing. There are things we are asked to do on Yom Kippur, & on Sukkot. And in doing them, comes greater understanding. Isn't one possible translation of Ex. 24:7 "We will do, and we will understand"? #ParshaChat

i don't think that will cover every #ParshaChat. Maybe something about plants+animals+environment?

Nope! I’ve come across those words, but didn’t know what they meant. #ParshaChat

A2 There is a wide range of sukkah constructions which leads to the possibility of people being jealous of those who have constructed quite elaborate sukkahs. #ParshaChat

here in central NJ we lost power from 3am until, i dunno, 10am?. this is why we have a whole-house generator
#ParshaChat Gusts of wind when the power went out were up to 40mph

I am mostly homebound. I can’t make a sukkah. I can very rarely visit a sukkah. I try to open the windows for Sukkot. #ParshaChat

And, that's kind of my tangential soapbox.

But it means a lot to me that we can't fool God, even if we fool others or even ourselves, there's an ultimate accountability there and a responsibility that is ours to take. And we *can*.

Yes! Hands, legs, eyes, eyeglasses, even a bicycle! #ParshaChat

Pizza in the hut! #ParshaChat

I feel like this holiday, for me, emphasizes the disabled guilt. “Oh, you’re disabled so you don’t have to do that.” #ParshaChat

In case not: The -ayim ending is one of my favorite things about Hebrew, it's for things that are double in some way. #ParshaChat

Haha, same — I almost forgot what time it was today because of how disorienting the weather is. #ParshaChat

Rabbi here is hosting a sukkah pizza party this year #ParshaChat

In matters between people, not everything is forgivable or forgiven, for all kinds of reasons. Sometimes forgiveness isn't on the table and there are ways in which the sin lingers.

But *teshuva* is always possible and important and worthwhile. #ParshaChat

When it comes to matters between a person and God, there's a certain kind of technical atonement-and-forgiveness ritual that wiped the slate clean in ways that aren't quite available without the Temple.

And...

Doctor Science here, late to #ParshaChat partly because the gloom of the Nor'easter completely scrambled my sense of what time it is
Rain makes me very sleeeepy

I love this idea #ParshaChat
