Symbolism of the sukkah

Sukkah meal, by Bernard Picart, 1722
* A sukkah must not be too high. A person must not be too high and mighty.

* A sukkah must not be too small. A person must not belittle himself.

* The walls must be able to withstand ordinary gusts of wind. A person must stand up for his principles.

* The stars must be visible through the foliage on the roof. A person must always see and strive for the Divine light.
