Sukkot
Sukkot, a Hebrew word meaning "booths" or "huts," refers to the Jewish festival of giving thanks for the fall harvest, as well as the commemoration of the forty years of Jewish wandering in the desert after Sinai. Sukkot is celebrated five days after Yom Kippur on the 15th of Tishrei and is marked by several distinct traditions, including the building of a sukkah (booth or hut), taking the commandment to "dwell in booths" literally, and it is common practice for some to eat and even live in these temporary dwellings during Sukkot.
