Description

All anger, sadness, and depression come from the aveiros (transgressions) that we have committed. We really want to yell at ourselves when we yell at our loved ones. Anger is connected to an unrectified bris (covenant). Everybody has a desire to do good and learn Torah. Jerusalem will be built from the desires of the Jewish people to do Hashem's will. Sukkos is about the hope of being close to Hashem. Every time we try a little harder to become better, we shatter the bones of the Satan. The tzaddikim need our efforts to be great.
