The Spiritual Incubator
If you are wondering “how can I personally contribute to the protection of Israel during this time of war and uncertainty?” Built yourself a spiritual hut, go outside. and sit in complete awareness of your human vulnerability for 7 days. And enjoy it!
There is a spiritual directive telling us exactly how to apply all the spiritual energy we generated with our prayers and fasting and introspection to the physical world.
Leave the comfort of your home and sit in a spiritual incubator (sukkah), under a flimsy roof (schach), protected from the sun and yet able to glimpse the stars - and just sit there, absorbing all the spiritual energy you generated this month. Allow your entire being to enjoy the feeling of it. Imagine a divine cloud directly protecting and shading you - wrapping you with affection. And then, using your newly absorbed spiritual power, imagine that divine protective barrier extending over all of Israel and the entire jewish people. And really really imagine it. And really really believe it. Because as incredible as our army and defense systems - Israel’s survival depends on more than human might — and there is no better way to affirm that in your body than sitting outside during a war in total faith.
Besides, the final 7 days of our 21 day cycle of renewal is the fun part. Don’t miss out on the practice of spiritual growth through joy!
