Shemuel Ben Meir, lived in France in the 12th century. He was one of\u00a0 Rashi&#8217;s brilliant grandsons and is known for his Talmud and Bible commentaries. He explains that on Sukkot:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 5px; font-family: 'Times New Roman';\">\u201cthe people leave houses filled with goods at the harvest season and they dwell in sukkot as a reminder that they had no property in the desert nor homes to inhabit. This is why God designated Sukkot at the harvest season, so that a person\u2019s heart should not grow haughty because of houses filled with everything good, lest they say: \u201cOur hands made all of this wealth for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 5px; font-family: 'Times New Roman';\">In simple English, the Rashbam is saying: The sukkah is a lesson in humility; it comes to prevent a swelled head. God commanded us to sit in the sukkah precisely at the harvest season when we are congratulating ourselves for our successful harvest and our fancy homes.
