We rejoice on all of the holidays, but Succoth contains an exceptional measure of joy. In fact, this is the most prominent aspect of the holiday. Succoth is identified in the prayers as z'man simchateinu, “the Season of our Joy.”
Why does this holiday of rejoicing immediately follow the High Holidays, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur — a solemn period of introspection and penitence?
