Sukkot is described in the Torah (Hebrew Bible) as the 'time of our rejoicing'. Yet its commandments to move out of a house into a temporary structure (Sukka) and the waving of rht 'four species' (lulav, etrog fruit etc) do not at first seem obviously linked to either joy or holiness.
Rabbi Rowe explores the Talmudic teachings and shows how Chazal (the ancient Rabbis) reveal in the Sukkah deep philosophical and psychological teachings about the nature of life as a journey, about the ability to connect to God in this world and to love the 'world to come' or 'Garden of Eden in our Sukkah, and from there into our daily lives.
This talk highlights how Sukkot helps transition from the lofty and mystical heights of Yom Kippur into the rest of the year. On Yom Kippur the Kohen Gadol (High Priest) embodies the nation of Israel and enters the 'Holy of Holies' of the Temple in Jerusalem. On Sukkot that holiness permeates every sukkah and the Presence of Hashem (God) enters each of our Sukkot as we embark on our annual journey to a new deeper self.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
