Sukkot movie Israeli

Moshe and Mali are broke and praying for a miracle. Suddenly they find an abandoned sukkot,
he is the beneficiary of charity, and two escaped convicts arrive to be their ushpizin.
Diving deep into their Orthodox faith, they pray for help. But instead of a miracle,
they are sent two devious escaped convicts. Seeing this as a test, Moshe and Malli make it their task
to turn these strangers from unwelcome visitors into honored guests.
“Gentle and affecting, it offers an introduction to a mostly unfamiliar world while touching on issues recognizable to all.”

The Sukkah’s spiritual energy invites the souls of Judaism’s seven great leaders to partake in the divine light on Earth.

What is the Garden of Eden? This is the place where worthy souls, having passed from this world, enjoy the light of the divine presence as they await entrance to the World to Come – i.e. the post-Messianic age (Talmud – Shabbat 152b; Derech Hashem 1:3:11).

The Zohar, the foremost book of Jewish mysticism, explains that the Sukkah generates such an intense concentration of spiritual energy, that the divine presence actually manifests itself there in a similar way to Eden. During Sukkot the souls of the seven great leaders of Israel – Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Aaron, Joseph, and King David – actually leave Gan Eden to partake in the divine light of the earthly Sukkot (Zohar – Emor 103a).

Each day of Sukkot, all seven souls are present, but each takes his turn to lead the other six. Collectively these transcendent guests are known as Ushpizin, the Aramaic word meaning “guests.” To welcome these illustrious souls, many have the custom to recite a lengthy mystical invitation upon entering the Sukkah for the first time. Additionally, many invite the Ushpizin each time they partake of a meal in the Sukkah. Some Sephardic Jews even have the custom of setting aside an ornately-decorated chair covered with fine cloth and holy books.
