The seventh day of Sukkot is known as Hoshana Raba, a cosmic opening in which the Light is seven times more powerful. All of the blessings written into the story of our life on Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot are manifested during these 24 hours. The Zohar teaches that the energy of Hoshana Raba gives us the ability to hold on to our blessings for the year to come. If anything of a negative nature made its way into our life’s script for the next year, Hoshana Raba affords us one last opportunity to shift our consciousness and block any judgments coming our way. By staying up all night—and participating in an ancient kabbalistic practice involving the reading of our shadows by the light of the moon—we can bring an end to the forces of negativity in our lives and in our world.
