Sukkot Schedule of Services
About Sukkot
Sukkot is a joyous Jewish holiday that commemorates the Israelites' journey through the wilderness after the exodus from Egypt. It is a time of gratitude and celebration for the fall harvest, as well as a time for reflection on the temporary dwellings the Israelites lived in during their journey.
