SUKKOT
What is Sukkot about?
Sukkot is a celebration that is done in the autumn,(October-November). The Jews who left Egypt with Moses lived in tents in the desert. The tents did not provide much protection – they had to rely on God for protection.
Now that they were living in stone houses they did not want to forget how to still fully rely on God’s help. So, once a year they build huts to live in which they call sukkah, and decorate them with fruits to thank God for the autumn fruits.
How do they celebrate this festival?
They have parties, sukkah crawl (crawling from hut to hut), drink wine and eat fruits. The family eats their breakfast there and have fun. But they do not sleep in it.
SIMCHAT TORAH
