In this episode of The Daily Derech, Rabbi Marcus Rubenstein explores the first day of Sukkot Torah reading, Hilchot Sukkah, and a teaching from Menorat HaMaor about trusting in God.

The Parashah section examines the laws of Passover, Chol HaMoed, the Omer offering, and the distinction between hadash and yishan grain. It also discusses Rashi’s understanding of the Passover sacrifice, offerings on Chol HaMoed, and the waving of the Omer.

The Rambam section focuses on the laws of valid schach for a sukkah. Rabbi Rubenstein explains which natural materials may be used, how processing affects their status, and rules concerning reed mats and wooden planks.
