The hard work is worth it. The simple act of eating in the sukkah is like having Shabbat for a week.
Sitting in a sukkah forces you to sit and talk a spell. It's what I always thought it would be to have a wrap-around porch with white rockers.
On a normal night, immediately after dinner, we often clear the table. Then we move into the family room and watch the news, a cooking show, or the latest show on Netflix. Instead of finishing dinner and immediately clearing the table, the night sounds, the dim lights, and the comfort of being surrounded by the swaying walls and night sky invite you to just be.
We talk longer. We talk about things other than work. We laugh a bit more. We simply don't rush.
