בַּסֻּכֹּת תֵּשְׁבוּ, שִׁבְעַת יָמִים; כָּל-הָאֶזְרָח, בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל, יֵשְׁבוּ, בַּסֻּכֹּת. לְמַעַן, יֵדְעוּ דֹרֹתֵיכֶם, כִּי בַסֻּכּוֹת הוֹשַׁבְתִּי אֶת-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, בְּהוֹצִיאִי אוֹתָם מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם: אֲנִי, ה אֱלֹקיכֶם. | בַּסֻּכֹּת תֵּשְׁבוּ, שִׁבְעַת יָמִים; כָּל-הָאֶזְרָח, בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל, יֵשְׁבוּ, בַּסֻּכֹּת. לְמַעַן, יֵדְעוּ דֹרֹתֵיכֶם, כִּי בַסֻּכּוֹת הוֹשַׁבְתִּי אֶת-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, בְּהוֹצִיאִי אוֹתָם מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם: אֲנִי, ה אֱלֹקיכֶם. | ||
So it is good to have in mind that G-d commanded us to sit in succot to remember what G-d did for us in the desert. <ref> There is a machloket on Succa 11b of whether we sit in the succa to remember actual succot that they sat in in the desert or the ananei hakavod that G-d gave us for protection. Tur 625 says its to remember the ananei hakavod and that’s why we sit in the succa specifically in the winter instead of when we celebrate yetziat Mitzrayim, to show that even though the norm in the winter is to move back into your house and in the summer to move outside, we move outside in the winter to show that we are sitting to fulfill G-d’s will only. The Bach there says that the fact that the tur taught all this with regards to succa is because you haven’t fulfilled your mitzva completely if you didn’t have the reason in mind since the pasuk gives us a reason. Chazon Ovadia 97 quotes the pri megadim(625) as saying that this is only lichatchila but bidieved you’re still yotzei because even though mitzvot need kavana this is just the reason for the mitzva and says that is halacha. Mishna Berura (625:1) agrees that you’re yotzei. Bikkurei Yaakov (625:3) disagrees and says you aren’t yotzei at all. </ref> | So it is good to have in mind that G-d commanded us to sit in succot to remember what G-d did for us in the desert. <ref> There is a machloket on Succa 11b of whether we sit in the succa to remember actual succot that they sat in in the desert or the ananei hakavod that G-d gave us for protection.
