Two great festivals commemorate the liberation of the Hebrews from Egypt: Chag HaMasot and Chag HaSucot. The first is the feast of unleavened bread and the other, the feast of the huts.

The Torah established the Masot, which is poor unleavened bread, and the Sukkot, which are flimsy straw huts as central reminder symbols of such a miraculous epic.

How is it possible that the only two festivals in which the greatness of God’s miracles is manifested, do not contain them as their centrality and only stand out a basic food and a fragile house, the Masot and the Sukkot?

What unites us with G’d are not miracles, but a sincere, pure life, without ostentation or pride, which focuses on the kind hearts of those who inhabit and eat, no matter where they live or what they eat.
