Sukkot is a Jewish festival of thanksgiving that begins on the 15th day of Tishri, five days after Yom Kippur, thus falling in September or October. It is a celebration of the harvest during which observing Jews dwell in temporary huts called sukkot. The festival lasts for seven days and runs into an eighth day called Shemini Atzeret.
