Hoshana Rabbah: The Willow and the Great Salvation | Rabbi Amichai Cohen

Why does the simplest of the four species get the spotlight on the last day of Sukkot? 🌿 The willow has no taste and no smell. No Torah to point to, no good deeds to count. Its only virtue is that it is part of the community. And on Hoshana Rabbah, the Great Salvation, that is the one we lift up. The willow grows by the water. Its branches move together in the wind. That is the secret of the whole holiday: coherence, flow and togetherness, with ourselves and with each other. From the Ushpizin of the first days to King David and Malchut on the last, the quality that holds every dimension together. Chag Sameach. May we all be sealed for good 🙏 Read the teaching: https://www.livekabbalah.com/blog/hoshana-rabbah-the-will… Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4gcqmJqcMtXvxt8ZpsuijE A guided meditation for the sukkah: https://www.livekabbalah.com/blog/sukkot-guided-meditation Learn with us: https://www.livekabbalah.com #Kabbalah #HoshanaRabbah #Sukkot #LiveKabbalah #JewishMysticism
