Feast of Booths or Feast of Tabernacles), is a Biblical pilgrimage festival that occurs in autumn on the 15th day of the month of Tishri (late September to late October). The holiday lasts 7 days. In Judaism it is one of the three major holidays known collectively as the Shalosh Regalim (three pilgrim festivals), when historically the Jewish populace traveled to the Temple in Jerusalem. During this holiday, Jews are instructed to build a temporary structure(sukkah) in which to eat their meals, entertain guests, relax, and even sleep. The sukkah is reminiscent of the type of huts in which the ancient Israelites dwelt during their 40 years of wandering in the desert after the Exodus from Egypt, and is intended to reflect God's benevolence in providing for all the Jews' needs in the desert.

What feast celebrates Israelites?

Outside of the Jewish community, I am aware of no feasts that celebrate Israelites. Inside the Jewish community, there are 3. Pesach (Passover) in the spring celebrates the liberation of the Israelites from Egyptian bondage. Shavuot (Pentecost, the Feast of Weeks) celebrates the giving of the Torah to Moses and the Israelites at Mount Sinai. Succot (Booths) remembers the Israelites living in flimsy temporary booths during their desert wanderings. Each of these festivals has a secondary meaning as a harvest festival. All of these are part of the festival calendar laid out in the Torah.

How could you order and categorize the Jewish holidays?

Greatest importance? Shabbat (the Sabbath). Then the High Holy Days, with Yom Kippur higher than Rosh Hashannah. Then the 3 Chagim (pilgrimage festivals), with Pesach (Passover) first, Succot (the Feast of Booths) second, and Shavuot (Pentecost or the Feast of Weeks) third. Then the minor feasts of Hanukkah and Purim, which really aren't even holidays, in the sense that while they are festive, you can go to work on those days.
