כל האזרח בישראל ישבו בסוכת
all citizens of Israel shall dwell in sukkahs
אפילו דער איד וואס איז ניט מדקדק במצוות נאָר איז מקבל אויף זיך אז
מהיום והלאה וועט ער דינען השי”ת בכל לבבו ובכל נפשו,
זאָגט אים צו דער פסוק “ישבו בסוכות” — ער וועט זוכה זײַן צו זיצען בסוכות עורו של לויתן.
(ר’ צבי פּאָריסאָבער)
Even the Jew who is not punctilious about mitzvahs but who takes
upon himself, from now on, to serve the Holy Blessed One with
all his heart and with all his soul, of him the verse says:
“shall dwell in sukkahs” — he will surely sit in the leviathan-skin sukkahs.
(R’ Tzvi Porisover)
So what’s the deal with leviathan-skin sukkahs? Well, I don’t know a lot about it but I have heard that in the world to come, the sukkahs will be made from leviathan skins. No doubt an honor and a privilege.

A few very short but pithy teachings from today’s study session:
אַתֶּם נִצָּבִים הַיּוֹם כֻּלְּכֶם לִפְנֵי יְ־הֹוָ־ה
atem nitsavim hayom kulekhem lifnei Hashem
you are all standing here today before the Lord (D’varim 29:9)
- Atem nitsavim hayom — ”Atem” (you) spells out “even mikir tiz’ak” (a stone shall cry out from the wall – Habakkuk 2:11) During the Days of Awe, even the petrified heart cries out to Gd. (Yaakov Tzvi Porisover)
- Atem (you) has the same spelling as Emet (truth). As long as the Jews keep themselves on a truthful, Gdly path, “nitsavim” (you stand) — they will continue to exist. (R’ Moshe Leib Lentshner)
- Atem (you) has the same spelling as Emet (truth). With truth, “nitsavim” — you can set yourselves before the Master of the Universe in the Days of Awe. (R’ Aharon Karliner)
