As September and October approach, Jewish families around the world will be celebrating Sukkot, one of the three pilgrimage holidays that mark the end of the summer harvest. This is a time to remember ancestral roots, reaffirm faith and experience simple living to celebrate life.
As the root of Sukkot, Sukkah structures — or natural huts with shade-providing roofs — are crucial to the observance of this holy time. A Sukkah is meant to be lived in during the observance of Sukkot and acts as a reminder of the journey from enslavement to freedom. Learn how to build a Sukkah below, along with other information about Sukkot.
