Ya'akov's day-the third day

The third day of the feast is known as the day that Ya'akov visits our booth.
Ya'akov represents the Sun which is our real inner self, our self actualization.
In this day we observe deeply the level of our self fulfillment.
Ya'akov is also the real ancestor of the Jews that have to be the light to the non-Jewish as the Sun enlights the solar system, this is apparently the connection between Ya'akov & the Sun.
We see where we need to improve ourselves in it & how.
We see how we're & what is needed to be changed.
It's also a chance to work on the negative sides of the sun such as the sensitivity to your ego.
In addition it's a chance to work on our relationship with our father (the Sun also represents the father) & of course the inner father (the father figure that's inside us).
This is also the day where we balance between Jupiter's essence of the first day & Saturn's essence of the second day.
indeed, Ya'akov does represent this balance & it can be seen even if we only look at his movements.
Unlike Abraham that walked all his life from place to place (Jupiter's expansion) & Yitzhak that stayed in his place even in the period of the hunger (Saturn's restriction), Ya'akov indeed balanced between the two (for example he moved (Jupiter) only when the reality forced him to (Saturn)).
We Balance between logic (Saturn's essence) & intuition (Jupiter's essence).
We deeply observe the level of both of them, we see where we're right or wrong following them (for instance guessing the character of a person standing next to us)to figure out where we stand in it& change what's needed to be changed.
In the end we reach the right balance between both that of course can be changed by the flow of life.
We do the same with the balance between realism & optimism.
We deeply observe our lives to see how realistic & optimistic we're.
We see where we failed & succeeded (in every area of life, from a simple test to earning millions in our business) & how optimistic & realistic we're during these events.
By doing that we change what is needed to be changed & reach the right balance between them & continue changing (if it's needed) through the flow of life.
We continue doing so with other characteristics of these two planets (the more the better).
We move between the expansions & credits of Jupiter & the restrictions & obligations of Saturn in order to reach our real self fulfillment.

  1. Hi! I'm trying to understand your blog. I'm wondering, is "booth" a metaphor for something? Or literal?
