Sukkot – a holiday of joy and unity

The holiday of Sukkot, one of the three pilgrimages, is celebrated every year on the 15th of Tishrei, immediately after Yom Kippur, and lasts seven days in the Land of Israel (and eight days abroad, including Shemini Atzeret). The holiday symbolizes the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and their dwelling in Sukkots in the wilderness.

The centrality of the holiday is expressed in the commandment to build the Sukkah, which is a memorial to the clouds of glory that surrounded the people of Israel, and in the four species – etrog, lulav, hadas, and arava, which are customarily waved during the holiday.
