Even as we have a preparation day for our weekly Sabbath (a miniature Feast of Tabernacles), we need to make extensive preparations for the eight-day Feast of Tabernacles, including scheduling time for rest, time for exercise, and using caution with overindulgence in food and drink. The Feast of Tabernacles is not a vacation, but a time to draw closer to our families, brethren, and especially God, whom we need to learn to fear. We also need to selflessly serve our brethren.
