The Sukkah is infinite light you can walk into. ✨

Chassidus teaches that the Sukkah is makif, a light so vast it surrounds us completely. Too great to hold inside, so Hashem wraps us in it.

This week in Chișinău, I watched that light fill a room.

A packed Sukkah. Faces glowing. Every guest welcomed as family. Friends who traveled across Moldova telling us: "We came for the holiness of this place."

Here is what I see:
In every Jew, infinite potential.
In every gathering, infinite possibility.
In this small corner of the world, an infinite future.

Moldova holds a history of Jewish life once silenced. Today it sings. Children, teens, adults, every day of Chol Hamoed, more light, more joy, more growth.
