======================
Today's Laws & Customs
======================

• Start on sukkah

It is customary to begin working on -- or at least planning -- the construction of the sukkah immediately after Yom Kippur. Indeed, The Midrash (Vayikra Rabbah 30:7) describes the four days between Yom Kippur and Sukkot as a time when the Jewish people are "preoccupied with mitzvot... this one is occupied with his sukkah [http://www.chabad.org/88580], this one is occupied with his lulav [http://www.chabad.org/3106]..."

• "G-d's Name"

According to an old Chassidic tradition -- mentioned in the writings of the Baal Shem Tov -- the day after Yom Kippur is referred to as "G-d's Name." (The Baal Shem Tov explains that each of the various divine names describes G-d's involvement in a specific "world" or realm of reality, but the designation "G-d's Name" -- without reference to any particular name -- connotes a divine effluence that transcends all realms and particulars. On Yom Kippur, we access and reveal the very essence of our soul [http://www.chabad.org/87990], which is one with the very essence of G-d; thus the day after Yom Kippur carries the designation "G-d's Name.")
