The Feast of Tabernacles, also known as Sukkot,is an annual Jewish holiday that commemorates the40 years that the Israelites spent wandering in thewilderness after their exodus from Egypt.
The holiday is celebrated in the fall, beginning on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Tishrei and lasting for seven days. During Sukkot, Jews build temporary shelters called sukkahs and eat meals inside them. This is a reminder of the temporary shelters that the Israelites lived in during their time in the wilderness.
