Sukkot HistorySukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles, is a week-long Jewish festival commemorating the forty years the ancient Israelites wandered the desert and lived in temporary shelters. This joyous biblical holiday has historical significance and agricultural components, as it marks the end of the harvest season in Israel. It is one of the three major pilgrimage festivals in the Jewish calendar, alongside Passover and Shavuot, in which participating Jews are traditionally expected to journey to the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. The origin of Sukkot can be traced back to the Torah, the Jewish written law, where it is mentioned as a time to rejoice with family and friends in the sukkah, a temporary hut topped with branches and often adorned with decorations such as fruits and flowers. Although Canada does not share the same agricultural traditions as Israel, the festival remains important for Canadian Jews to celebrate their faith and cultural heritage. Israeli-Canadian events such as the Jewish Israeli Film Festival and the Celebration of Israel have incorporated Sukkot in their programming, highlighting the continued significance of the holiday in Canada. In Canada, observance of Sukkot typically involves building a sukkah at one's home or Synagogue and participating in festive meals, prayers, and other religious activities throughout the week. Some Canadian Jewish communities also hold gatherings or events in sukkahs during the holiday, allowing members to connect with their faith, history, and one another while celebrating the festival. Sukkot occurs in the autumn, generally falling in late September or early October depending on the Hebrew calendar's lunar cycle. In 2022, for example, the festival is set to begin on the evening of October 9th and conclude on the evening of October 16th for Canadian Jews. Sukkot (Begins) facts
