What is the lesson of dwelling in a sukkah?
The primary lesson of dwelling in a sukkah is to remember the going out of Egypt, so that future generations may know that Hashem caused the children of Israel to reside in sukkot when He took them out of Egypt [1, 4]. This mitzvah emphasizes awareness and knowledge of this historical event [1].
