Sukkot
– An Important Message for Our Time
Sukkot,
a Hebrew word meaning "booths" or "huts," refers to the
Jewish festival of giving thanks for the fall harvest. It also
commemorates the 40 years of Jewish wandering in the desert after the giving of
the Torah atop Mt. Sinai. Sukkot is celebrated five days after
Yom Kippur on the 15th day of the month of Tishrei (this year
corresponding to September 29th).
