The Kollel replies:
In the Krovos said during Chazaras Hashatz by some Kehilos, the following statement is found at the beginning of one of the paragraphs (after Mechayeh Hameisim): "Bal Tehi Mitzvas Sukah b'Einecha Kalah, Ki k'Neged Kol Mitzvos Das Chukoseha Shekula" -- "Let not the Mitzvah of Sukah be light in your eyes, as its laws are equal to all of the Mitzvos."
All the best,
Yaakov Montrose
