Rav Hirsch explains that Atzeres refers to maintaining one's spiritual position. Shmini Atzeres is a time to bring the Kedushah and Simcha of Succos into our homes. The famous Targum Yonasan ben Uziel, and Rav Zevin's teirutz for a difficult Rashi. Why do we celebrate Simchas Torah on Shmini Atzeres?
