Chasidut para sa Deuteronomio 15:15

Why is it that Sukkot follows Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur? It's because one can't fully attain this dwelling (the sukka) except through the power of t'shuva [which we achieve during those days]. In this regard, the Sages said that a ba'al t'shuva occupies a place [here, the sukka] that the complete tzaddik cannot attain. {...} And this is similar to the practice of endowing [the manumitted slave]. This linkage is suggested by the verse [Deut. 16:13] which tells us, regarding Sukkot [to construct a sukka] "from your granaries and your wine vats." And regarding the endowment [the same phrase is used in the immediately preceding chapter] it says [15:14], "from your granaries and your wine vats." And it is written, [in connection with both passages, (16:12, 15:15)], "you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt. And Rashi explained [on 15:15] that the double verb [of "ha'anek ta'anikenu" (you shall surely endow)] means that you should endow the slave with a double portion, just as God endowed you with a double portion in your liberation from Egypt [once in Egypt (when the Egyptians gave/lent the Israelites their valuables) and once at the Sea (where the Israelites harvested the booty from the drowned Egyptian warriors)]. [Just as there was, after the liberation from Egypt, an "endowment" of great wealth,] similarly, the making of amends for our sins also amounts to a liberation, from the Yetzer Hara, and it yields latitude, autonomy, freedom. And this is why the Talmud [Sukk. 12a] says, regarding the Torah's requirement to use the granaries and wine vats to construct our sukka, "Scripture is referring to the _waste_products_ of your granaries and your wine vats." These [the waste products, the refuse] are the sins that have been transformed into merits by desire [t'shuka -- possibly a typo for "t'shuva"?]; they are the shield that afterward protects the ba'alei t'shuva. That is, the Talmud's insistence that the sukka is to be built from scraps, from waste products, symbolizes the process of transforming sins into merits by yearning ["t'shukah," possibly a typo for "t'shuvah," repentance]. Those [merits] are the protection that shields the ba'alei t'shuva [and thus, it's the process of doing t'shuvah that enables one to be in the sukka].

Exodus 34,21. “you shall observe the Sabbath rest ‎regardless of whether it is the season of planting or ‎harvesting.” It is a rule that G’d shares out His largesse to ‎the various parts of His universes and it is also known that the ‎origin of that largesse is in the spiritual region known as ‎אין סוף‎, ‎the Infinite. It was the prophet Elisha who said (Kings II 4,2) ‎מה ‏יש לכי בבית‎, “what (containers) do you have in the house?” This ‎shows us that in order to take advantage of G’d’s largesse man has ‎to furnish the receptacle. He does so by providing the various ‎letters in the alphabet. Both the act of sowing and harvesting are ‎perceived as a manner of creating, When the largesse is provided ‎from the celestial regions directly, i.e. from the eyn sof, ‎there is no need for the human being to supply a ‎כלי‎, receptacle ‎Seeing that it is forbidden to write on the Sabbath, i.e. to put ‎together letters, on that day, no receptacle is required to receive ‎G’d’s largesse. This is hinted at in Deuteronomy 15,15 when the ‎Torah writes:‎וברכתיך בכל אשר תעשה ‏‎, “I will bless you in all your ‎undertakings. By writing that you are to rest (on the Sabbath) ‎both in the season of planting and the during season of ‎harvesting, the Torah explains that the Sabbath rest does not ‎only not interfere with our receiving G’d’s largesse, but, on the ‎contrary, it facilitates the process, i.e.‎בחריש ובקציר תשבות ‏‎ ‎
