SUMMARY:Closed for Sukkot
DESCRIPTION:Evening of October 16–23\nGreeting: Chag sameach (“khahg sah-MAY-ahkh”) or happy holiday\nSukkot\, the Festival of Booths\, is a seven-day festival beginning five days after Yom Kippur on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Tishrei. Sukkot is one of the Shalosh Regalim\, or three pilgrimage festivals that include Passover and Shavuot. Sukkot both celebrates the harvest and commemorates the type of dwelling the Israelites lived in during their 40 years of wandering through the desert. \nBuilding a Sukkah \nThe walls should be made from natural materials that will withstand an ordinary wind and the roof should be made of a material that grew from the earth\, was cut off from the earth\, and is not susceptible to contamination (e.g.\, tree branches\, corn stalks\, bamboo reeds\, and sticks). You must be able to see the night sky through the roof and there should be at least 2.5 walls. \nMyrtle\, willow branches\, ulav (a palm frond)\, and etrog (yellow citron) are symbols of this holiday. \nRead more about Jewish holidays.
