Created especially for your succah, we invite you to download and print the new collection of posters featuring inspiring quotes from Rabbi Sacks about the festival of Succot, or scroll down for additional designs from past years.
“Life is a sukkah. We are strangers and temporary residents on earth.”“The lulav, etrog, myrtle, and willows were a vivid demonstration of the fruitfulness of the land under the divine blessing of rain. The joy of Sukkot was the joy of living in the Promised Land.”“The universe is the space God makes for us. The sukkah, with its incomplete roof and its door open to strangers, is the space we make for God.”“The power of Sukkot is that it takes us back to the most elemental roots of our being.”

“The universe is the space God makes for us. The sukkah, with its incomplete roof and its door open to strangers, is the space we make for God.”“No other nation took as a symbol not a castle, a fortress or a triumphal arch, but a fragile tabernacle. No other nation was born, not in its land, but in the desert. Far from being universal, Sukkot seems intensely particularistic, the festival of a people like no other, whose only protection was its faith in the sheltering wings of the Divine Presence.”“For ten days, beginning on Rosh Hashanah and reaching a climax on Yom Kippur, we have prayed, ‘Remember us for life, O King who desires life, and write us in the book of life – for Your sake, O God of life.’Now, having survived the trial, we are faced with the deepest question of all. What is life? What is this gift we have been granted? What gives life meaning, purpose, substance? What will redeem us from the shadow of death? Kohelet’s answer, in a word, is joy.”“You can live in a hut with only leaves for a roof, exposed to the wind, the cold and the rain, and still rejoice... Joy is something we share with others. Joy is gratitude for the gift of life that we feel in the presence of the Giver of life. We become eternal not by constructing buildings, but by opening ourselves up, making ourselves vulnerable, to the Eternal, to God Himself.”
