One of the most joyous of the Fall Festivals, it is also known as the Feast of Tabernacles. We build temporary tent-like dwelling places or "sukkot" which are decorated with fruits and vegetables overlaid with myrtle, willow and palm tree branches. The reason we put up sukkot is that they are a symbol of the wondering in the wilderness for 40 years and is a poignant reminder that our dwelling places (homes) are temporary compared to the mansions G-d is preparing for us. Finally, at the end of days, HaShem will command all the families of the earth, to go to Jerusalem to celebrate the Festival of Sukkot. Leviticus 23:33-44; Zachariah 14:16-19.
