During Shemini Atzeret practitioners remain in the huts in which they dwelled or feasted during Sukkot. However, the shaking of lulav (a bundle of tree branches) and etrog (a citron) is no longer observed. In the synagogue the Yizkor memorial prayer is recited, and there is a special prayer for rain.
