Sukkot commemorates forty years of God’s care for His people in the wilderness after redeeming them from Egypt; its Haftarot carry that theme forward in history. One of its Haftarot recounts the peaceful, political culmination of that redemption 480 years later with Solomon’s building of the Temple (see below)[1]<\/sup><\/a>. Its other two Haftarot – Day 1 (below), and Shabbat Chol Hamoed (not read this year) – relate to His apocalyptic, providential redemption of His people from amidst their enemies.<\/p>\n

Day 1- Zechariah 14:1-21<\/strong><\/p>\n

LLiving in the early Second Temple period, the prophet Zechariah predicted many apocalyptic events, including a horrific plague, the blooming of the land of Israel, and more. His final prophecy recounts God\u2019s victorious battle for Israel against its enemies. After their defeat on a day that is \u201cneither day nor night\u201d, the remaining nations will celebrate Sukkot in a renewed Jerusalem along with the Jewish people, ultimately recognizing God\u2019s rule over the entire world.<\/p>\n

As part of a complex discussion about the minimum height of a sukkah wall, the Talmud powerfully envisions God\u2019s physical presence touching Earth as imagined by Zechariah in the Haftarah. However, it concludes that even His spiritual presence (\u201cShechinah\u201d) never enters man\u2019s domain in the physical world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

With celebration and sacrifices, the King gathers the people to place the Ark in the Holy of Holies, thereby \u201cmoving\u201d God\u2019s presence into His \u201chome.\u201d God\u2019s presence appears, but its power prevents the priests from serving in the Temple. In response, Solomon prays that the Temple that he built, in the stead of his father David, be accepted as God\u2019s true dwelling place.<\/p>\n

Rabbi Eliezer Melamed, current Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshiva Har Bracha and author of the Peninei Halacha series, relates the clouds that filled the Temple to the process of Divine revelation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Peninei Halakhah, Days of Awe 10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
To grasp the meaning of this cloud of incense smoke, one must first realize that this was patterned on how God revealed Himself to Israel \u2013 in the opacity of the cloud… The cloud connotes an exalted and sublime divine revelation, beyond human comprehension. Yet through the fog and cloud, one can reach an understanding of the divine, albeit only partially, in accordance with his capabilities\u2026when the First Temple was dedicated, we read, \u201cThe kohanim brought the Ark of the Lord\u2019s Covenant to its place underneath the wings of the keruvim, in the Shrine of the House, in the Kodesh Ha-kodashim\u2026. When the kohanim came out of the Kodesh, the cloud had filled the House of the Lord, and the kohanim were unable to stand and serve because of the cloud, for the Presence of the Lord filled the House of the Lord\u201d (1 Melakhim 8:6, 11). First was a sublime, exalted revelation that no human being could endure, and only afterward, from within the cloud and fog, would the divine idea become revealed gradually, according to the abilities of the kohanim.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
