The Succah That Almost Wasn’t

I just put up my succah. Yes, even though there are no men in residence at this address. Originally, I was going to skip it. A few weeks ago, I mentioned to someone close to me that I wasn’t sure about putting up a succah — why bother?

“Really, you just want to sit inside and ignore Succos?” she asked me.

Well, yes, in fact, that’s the general idea…

But then I realized she was right. Not building a succah, ignoring Succos, would essentially mean I was giving into the “why” that has no answer.
