Significance: Remembers the wandering in the dessert; also a harvest festival Observances: Building and "dwelling" in a booth; waving branches and a fruit during services Length: 7 days
...On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the Festival of Sukkot, seven days for the L-RD. -Leviticus 23:34
We leave the comforts of our homes to live in sukkot (huts) to humble ourselves and to reconnect with our existential core in nature. The looming international climate change crisis should be embedded in our consciousness as we dwell outdoors.
