Sukkot is a Jewish harvest festival, also known as the festival of “booths.” The booth or sukkah is a temporary dwelling in which the faithful take their meals during the festival. The booths recall the temporary shelters in which the people of Israel lived, sustained by the mercy of God, during their years in the wilderness after the exodus from Egypt.
