About Sukkot

Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles or Booths, is a seven day Jewish festival that begins on the 15th of Tishrei, five days after Yom Kippur, in September or October. It recalls the forty years the Israelites lived in simple huts in the desert, and it is also a harvest festival.

Families build a sukkah, a small hut with a roof of branches through which the stars can be seen, and eat their meals in it, sometimes sleeping in it too. They decorate it with paper chains, fruit and children's drawings, and welcome guests.

Each day people wave the four species: a palm branch (lulav), myrtle, willow and a citron (etrog). The festival is called the season of our joy, and it ends with Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah, when the yearly reading of the Torah is finished and begun again with dancing.

How people celebrate Sukkot

  • Building and decorating the sukkah
  • Meals and sleeping in the sukkah
  • Waving the lulav and etrog
  • Welcoming guests (ushpizin)
  • Harvest thanksgiving
  • Dancing with the Torah on Simchat Torah

How to wish well

  • Chag Sameach (happy holiday) or Chag Sukkot Sameach suit everyone. On the middle days, Moadim l'simcha is a traditional greeting.
  • An invitation to eat in your sukkah is one of the warmest Sukkot messages.
  • Send wishes before sunset on the first evening; many observant Jews do not use phones on the first days.
