On this Motzoei Yom Tov, as we bid farewell to the beautiful chag that ended tonight (in chutz la’aretz, and last night for those in Eretz Hakodesh), we’d like to wish all of our readers ah gutten vinter.
As you take down your sukkahs tonight and resume your regular routine, try to hold on to the warmth and inspiration of the Zeman Simchaseinu and Simchas Torah as you head into the long days of winter. The winter is representative of the lengthy golus in which we find ourselves, and just as we try to hold on to the warmth of summer as we endure the dark days of winter, we likewise try to hold on to the uplifting moments of our lives to help us get through this long and bitter exile.
We pray that all of Klal Yisroel merit only bracha and yeshuos during this season, and may we be zoche to greet Moshiach, bimeheirah beyomeinu, speedily, in our day.
Ah gutten vinter.

A gezunten harbst, a good, healthy autumn (fall).
Winter is a few months away yet.
Gotta love that gatchkes hanging on the line.
A gutten vinter is like saying “A gutten tog” “Good morning winter.” The correct way is to say “A gezuntun vinter – a healthy winter”.
BTW it’s a Gezunter Vinter, not a gutten Vinter.
Oh okay.
Someone please get the Matzav editor a calendar, so he will know which season it is at the end of Simchas Torah
(correct answer: autumn, also called fall).
It doesn’t go by seasons. It’s a minhag Yisroel to use this term to vintch for the future after Simchas Torah and A Gezuntun Zimmer after Pesach.
