Sukkot is a Jewish holiday that celebrates the harvest and remembers when the Jewish people lived in huts in the desert after leaving Egypt. It usually lasts for seven days. During Sukkot, Jewish families build a special hut called a "sukkah" in their yards or on balconies. They eat meals inside the sukkah and sometimes even sleep there. The roof is made of branches, so you can see the stars at night. It's a happy time filled with family, friends, and thanksgiving for the good things in life. People also shake a bundle of plants called a lulav and an etrog.
How to celebrate Sukkot?
Celebrate Sukkot by making a special hut called a "sukkah" in your backyard or on your balcony. Decorate it with colorful decorations and lights. Spend time with family and friends inside the sukkah, eating meals together and telling stories. Play fun games and sing happy songs. Shake the "lulav," a bunch of special plants, along with an "etrog," a yellow fruit, while standing inside the sukkah. Enjoy delicious holiday foods like challah bread, fruits, and vegetables. At night, you can look up at the stars through the open roof of the sukkah, feeling cozy and thankful.
