What is Sukkot?

Sukkot, also known as the Feast of Tabernacles, is a joyful Jewish holiday that celebrates gratitude, harvest, and remembrance.

Observed five days after Yom Kippur, Sukkot commemorates the 40 years the Israelites spent wandering in the desert after leaving Egypt.

During Sukkot, many families build and spend time in a temporary outdoor shelter called a sukkah, which symbolizes both resilience and faith. The holiday is often marked by shared meals, prayer, celebration, and giving thanks for life’s blessings and the harvest season.

Enjoy traditional Sukkot foods and seasonal favorites:

Sukkot Recipes: Unlike other holidays, Sukkot has no traditional dishes—other than kreplach, traditionally eaten on Hoshanah Rabbah, the seventh day of Sukkot. Instead, we enjoy a variety of traditional foods—challah, fish, salads, chicken, meat and more. And all of the foods we eat have a special flavor due to the fact that we are eating them outside, in the sukkah.
