Sukkot is a week-long Jewish holiday that celebrates the fall harvest and commemorates the 40 years that Jews spent in the desert after escaping slavery in Egypt. Jews celebrate Sukkot on the 15th day of the Jewish month of Tishrei, which comes five days after Yom Kippur, the holiest day in Judaism. During the holiday, Jews build temporary dwellings called “sukkot” or “huts” and decorate them with foliage. They are required to eat in the sukkah for eight days (seven days in Israel), and some even sleep in the sukkah for the duration of the holiday. The holiday is meant to bring families, friends, and communities together, and it holds a significant place in Jewish culture.
