Sukkot is the Jewish Festival of Booths, or Tabernacles.
It is a joyous festival that commemorates the final gathering of the harvest.
It also commemorates how God protected them in the wilderness after He took them out of Egyptian bondage.
Sukkot celebrates the israelites being led out of slavery by Moses and they eat traditional foods such as olives, wheat, and grapes. As part of the festival they sleep and camp out for seven days in huts called sukkahs, hence the word Sukkot. These sukkahs are mainly made of palms and natural timber.
