Sukkot recalls how G‑d sheltered our ancestors on their journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. For seven days we eat our meals in the sukkah, a hut covered with greenery, under the open sky.
Coming right after the solemn High Holidays, Sukkot is a time of joy. Each day we hold the Four Kinds together — the lulav, esrog, hadassim and aravos — a sign of unity and of our belief that G‑d is everywhere.
