COMMENT
Succos in the Teshuvos of the Chasam Sofer
By Rav Yissochor Dov Rubin zt"l
An anthology from the teachings and doctrines of the rov of Klal Yisroel about matters concerning Yom Tov, the succah, the arba Minim, Simchas Beis Hashoevoh the last day of Yom Tov and more.
In the first part Rav Taub explained at length that keeping the Torah does not require giving up Olom Hazeh for Olom Habo. Doing a sin is considered a "shtus," an act of insanity, since the consequence of sin is a loss in Olom Hazeh as well as Olom Habo. Rather we should use Olom Hazeh to reach Olom Habo, and including the idea that by keeping mitzvos and not doing aveiros we will have Olom Hazeh as well as Olom Habo.
