Sukkot is a Jewish festival that lasts for seven days, beginning on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Tishrei, usually in late September or early October. It commemorates the Israelites' journey in the desert after their exodus from Egypt, symbolizing their reliance on God. During this time, families build temporary structures called sukkahs, which are decorated and used for meals and gatherings.
The festival is also known as the Feast of Tabernacles or the Feast of Booths. It includes rituals such as waving the Four Species—a palm branch, myrtle, willow, and citron—representing different aspects of nature and unity. Sukkot is a time of joy, gratitude, and reflection on the harvest.
