Elevating The Physical

Each of the three festivals is linked by the seforim to one of the Avos: Pesach to Avraham, Shavuos to Yitzchak, and Sukkos to Yaakov, because the Torah says he made sukkos for his animals. Why Yaakov? The Gemara in Avodah Zarah describes the nations crowding forward in the future to claim reward for the bridges and marketplaces they built, and Hashem calls them fools. Eating and sleeping in a sukkah turns into a mitzvah, and that opens a question for every hour we spend at work, at home, and asleep.
