What Sukkot recalls
Sukkot begins on 15 Tishrei and lasts seven days. It recalls temporary shelters during the journey through the wilderness and has agricultural roots. A sukkah is a hut with a plant-material roof that invites reflection on vulnerability and care for others.
The main customs
Many families eat in the sukkah; some also sleep there, depending on custom and conditions. The lulav brings together palm, myrtle and willow, alongside the etrog, a citrus fruit. These four species are held together during the festival, except on Shabbat.
Visiting a sukkah
You do not need to build one to encounter the festival: ask about a community meal and check booking, accessibility and kashrut. Work observance differs between festival and intermediate days, and between communities. Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah follow Sukkot as celebrations with their own identity.
