Sukkot (Suka Sukka Sukkats Sukat - Feast of Tabernacles)
Purpose. Sukkot commemorates the wanderings of the Children of Israel in the Wilderness when they dwelt in huts or booths (Suka = booth; Leviticus 23:34). Occurring in the autumn, during the time of the last fruit harvest, Sukkot is also observed as a thanksgiving holiday for the bounties of nature during the previous year.
Date. The Festival has nine days (eight in Israel) and begins on the 15th Tishri. In addition to the first two days there are four intervening days known as Chol Hamo'ed - "weekdays of the Festival." There are three further days, with characteristics of their own making a combined nine-day festival period outside Israel, with one day less in Israel.
