For example; we must bring together the Four Species and make a Brachah (blessing) over them. Never the less, this holiday is called “Succos”, referring specifically to the commandment to sit and live in the Succah.

2. The Rebbe now gives five reasons as to why this holiday is specifically named “Succos” after the commandment to sit in the Succah and not after any of the other commandments related to this holiday:

Chabad-Lubavitch Rabbi Mendel Zarchi helps a Jewish visitor make a blessing on the Four Species inside his sukkah in Puerto Rico.

The holiday is a time for family, food and stargazing, but for many, it’s also a time for parkas, rain jackets, bee traps and outdoor air conditioners.
