About Sukkot

Sukkot, also called the Feast of Tabernacles or Feast of Booths, is a seven-day Jewish festival that begins on the 15th of Tishri, five days after Yom Kippur. It is one of the three pilgrimage festivals named in the Torah, when Jews in ancient times traveled to the Temple in Jerusalem. The holiday has two meanings. It is an autumn harvest festival, sometimes called the Festival of Ingathering, and it remembers the Israelites' 40 years in the desert after leaving Egypt, when they lived in temporary shelters and relied on divine protection.

The holiday's best-known custom is the sukkah, a temporary hut built outdoors with at least partly open walls and a roof of branches, palm fronds or other plant material, loosely laid so the stars can be seen. Families eat their meals in the sukkah during the week, and some sleep there. Each day except the Sabbath, many people also hold the four species: a citron called an etrog, a palm branch called a lulav, and sprigs of myrtle and willow, which are waved in six directions during prayer. Each evening some families symbolically welcome ushpizin, seven biblical guests including Abraham, Moses and David.

Sukkot begins at sundown on the date shown. In Israel the first day is a full festival day with work restrictions; outside Israel the first two days are. The days that follow, called chol hamoed, are semi-festive. The seventh day, Hoshana Rabbah, features seven processions around the synagogue. Sukkot is followed immediately by Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah, a separate holiday when the yearly cycle of Torah readings ends and begins again with dancing. Because the Hebrew calendar is lunisolar, Sukkot falls in September or October.
