Sukkot, also known as the Feast of Tabernacles, is a week-long Jewish holiday that begins five days after Yom Kippur. It commemorates the biblical story of the Israelites sheltering in the wilderness after their exodus from Egypt. In modern Israel, it is a major festival where families build temporary booths (Sukkot) to eat and sometimes sleep in. The first day is a full public holiday with market closures, while the following days see reduced business activity.
The holiday is observed based on the Hebrew calendar, starting on the 15th day of the month of Tishrei. The exact Gregorian dates change every year.
