Today the Mitzvah Tank Org. outfitted two 50 foot long trailers with enormous Sukkahs on them with ‘Chabad Lubavitch wishes you a happy Sukkos’.

Rabbi Yossi Kahanov Shliach to Jacksonville, FL
There was once a Melamed (Cheder teacher) whom a well-to-do industrialist engaged to serve as the village resident tutor for a period of time. It so happened that during this same period the prosperous businessman built himself a magnificent mansion.

During the housewarming festivities all the household members found themselves, as can be expected, in highly festive and cheerful spirits. When the owner of the new home noticed that the visiting Melamed was quite caught up in the joyous festivities, he turned to him in surprise: “Why so much joy? After all, you are only here temporarily!”

The Melamed, who might have been of humble means but not of humble mind, quickly glanced back at the Bal-Habbos (owner/employer) and rejoined: “And you Sir? Do you think you're here forever? You too, are only here temporarily!”
Despite all the attention paid to security these days there is much that can be learned from Judaism concerning this vital topic.
