חולין מח

Three men were debating which of the שלש רגלים is best. “פסח is the best and most משובח,” said ראובן. “The מצוה of ביעור חמץ means we have a clean house and new dishes, and we get to enjoy the סדר and special foods.” שמעון countered that סוכות is the best. “We sit in the beautiful, decorated סוכות, dance with the ארבע מינים, and then we have שמחת תורה.” “No,” לוי replied. “שבועות is the finest of all. On פסח, we can’t eat whatever we want. On סוכות, we can’t eat wherever we want. On שבועות, however, we can eat what we want, where we want and when we want.”
