Sukkot in a Nutshell

  • Sukkot: A week-long Jewish festival that celebrates the harvest and commemorates the Israelites’ 40 years of wandering in the desert after leaving Egypt.
  • Dates: It typically begins on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Tishrei, five days after Yom Kippur.
  • Sukkah: A temporary outdoor hut (sukkah) is constructed, where meals are eaten, and some may sleep, symbolizing the dwellings the Israelites lived in during their journey through the desert.
  • Four Species: Jews perform a special ritual by holding together the lulav (palm branch), etrog (citron), hadas (myrtle), and aravah (willow) and waving them in six directions to acknowledge God’s presence everywhere.
  • Religious Significance: Sukkot is one of the three pilgrimage festivals (alongside Passover and Shavuot) when Jews historically brought offerings to the Temple in Jerusalem.
  • Joyous Festival: Sukkot is also known as the “Season of our Rejoicing” (Z’man Simchateinu) and is a time of great joy and thanksgiving.
  • Work Restrictions: The first and sometimes the second day (depending on observance levels) are considered full holidays with restrictions on work, similar to Shabbat.
  • Prayers and Services: Special prayers are recited during Sukkot, including Hallel (psalms of praise) and Hoshanot (prayers for salvation), which are performed while circling the synagogue’s prayer area.
  • Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah: The holiday concludes with Shemini Atzeret (an additional day of assembly) and Simchat Torah (celebrating the annual cycle of Torah reading).
  • Agricultural Roots: It has an agricultural aspect, marking the final harvest before winter in Israel, and serves as a reminder of dependence on divine providence for sustenance.
