  • She
  • I can think of two reasons for the meat.
  • One is simple - there is a old saying in Judaism (from the days when neither was more than weekly fare any way) - "There is no simcha [joy] without meat and wine."
  • Every meal in the sukkah should be a celebration (which's why I suggested bread with each meal.)
  • Another (and this is pure speculation) may harken all the way back to Temple days, when there would be massive, and ever-increasing, extra daily sacrifices during the week of Sukkot.
  • This is a pilgrimage festival as well, so Jerusalem would be filled with people.
  • It just makes sense which the extra meat (once the priests and Levites get their shares) would be distributed to the crowds.
  • I could easily be wrong - anyone know what happened to all the Sukkot sacrifices
  • One sharp pepper is better than a basketful of melons.
