Sukkot
Context
A biblical Jewish holiday celebrated on the 15th day of the month of Tishrei, lasting for seven days
Explanation
Sukkot, also known as the Feast of Tabernacles, commemorates the time the Israelites spent in the wilderness and God's protection over them. It's celebrated by building and dwelling in temporary shelters (sukkah).
Applications
The sukkah, a hut with a roof of branches, reminds Jews of the fragility of life and the need to rely on God.
It's a time of joy and thanksgiving for the harvest, with meals eaten in the sukkah.
Sukkot is also marked by special prayers and the waving of the lulav and etrog.
