Giving

Giving affects not only the one you give to, but also you, the giver. Therefore, it’s not only important how much you give, but how often. Each act of giving uplifts and purifies you a little more. ~ R’ Tzvi Freeman

On Succos, the highest light, which is the light of emuna, shines. When a person has emuna – he has everything. When a person knows that everything is Hashem’s will and for the best – and he does not just know this – he breathes it, he lives it – his life is Gan Eden.

~ R’ Menachem Azolai, Shlita

Sukkot (Hebrew: סוכות‎ or סֻכּוֹת, sukkōt), commonly translated as Feast of Tabernacles (traditional Ashkenazi spelling Sukkos/Succos), known also as the Festival of Ingathering (חג האסיף, Chag HaAsif) or in some translations the Festival of Shelters[5], is a biblical Jewish holiday celebrated on the 15th day of the seventh month, Tishrei (varies from late September to late October). During the existence of the Jerusalem Temple, it was one of the Three Pilgrimage Festivals (Hebrew: שלוש רגלים‎, shalosh regalim) on which the Israelites were commanded to perform a pilgrimage to the Temple.

Emuna is faith

In Judaism, HaShem (lit. ‘the Name’) is used to refer to God, particularly as an epithet for the Tetragrammaton, when avoiding God’s more formal title, Adonai (‘my master’).
Gan Eden (Spiritual Heaven): (lit. the Garden of Eden): the spiritual realm of souls in the afterlife.
