Sukkot

2024
October 16-23

Sukot celebrates the gathering of the earth’s abundance and gives thanks for the fall harvest. Sukot is known as the Feast of Tabernacles or Feast of Booths. Traditionally, we take hold of four species of earthy growth that is found in Israel – the etrog, myrtle, willow and palm. It is customary to build a sukkah to dwell in during the holiday.
