What is Sukkot?

Sukkot is celebrated from 15 – 21 Tishrei (late September-October). Also known as The Feast of Tabernacles — Sukkot recalls the journey of the Jews from Egypt to the Promised Land when they lived in a tent or booth called a Sukkah. The harvest season is symbolized by the lulav (palm branch), etrog (citron), the myrtle, and willow. During this week, we decorate our Sukkah with fruit and greenery and enjoy snacks outdoors.
