Two verses in Leviticus 23 teach us a powerful lesson about the holiday of Sukkot and end up raising an intriguing question that continues to speak to us today in 2020, perhaps never more so that right now during this pandemic. Leviticus 23:42-43 states, You shall live in booths seven days; all citizens of Israel shall live in booths, in order that future generations may know that I made the Israelite people live in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, I the Lord your God.

On Tuesday morning, I ducked out of a light drizzle on 92nd Street and into the Jewish Museum, which reopened on September 24 after a six-month closure due to coronavirus.
