Sukkot-Torah-Reading

The Days of Awe is traditionally the period to get right with God and our fellow man through repentance and asking forgiveness.

In this new exodus, the Jewish people will be delivered, not from Egypt as in the past, but from the lands of their dispersion, and gathered into their own land.
