The holiday fun continues with Sukkot Sevices & Kiddush in the Sukkah – Sept. 29th – Oct 6th followed by Shimini Atzeret – Oct 7th, and Simchat Torah – Oct 8th
Sukkot is a weeklong holiday that comes five days after Yom Kippur. Sukkot celebrates the gathering of the harvest and commemorates the miraculous protection God provided for the children of Israel when they left Egypt. We celebrate Sukkot by dwelling in a foliage-covered booth (known as a sukkah) and by taking the “Four Kinds”, four special species of vegetation.The lulav is a cluster of plants: a palm branch, two boughs of willow, and three boughs of myrtle. The etrog is a citron fruit . Together the lulav and etrog are called arba minim, which is Hebrew for “the four species.”
