[Avodah] Mitsvat Sukkah is almost unique - continued

[Esther and Aryeh Frimer]

From: "Richard Wolpoe" Posted 

Q: How is The Mitzvah of Sukkah so unique [almost] - in that it shares a
quality in common with only 1 other mitzvah nowadays.

A: Just like the Mikvah, the Sukkah encompasses our entire body. In the time
of the Temple , we could experience being encompassed by the sanctity of the
Bet Hamikdash, now we have only Mikvah and Sukkah.

I believe it was Rav Kook ZT"L who noted that Sukkah and Yishuv Eretz Yisrael are the only Mitzvot which one fulfills even with the mud on ones shoes.
