Sukkah

Sukkot (Hebrew: סוכות or סֻכּוֹת, sukkōt ; "booths." Also transliterated as Succoth or Sukkos) and also known as the Feast of Booths, the Feast of Tabernacles, Tabernacles, or the Feast of Ingathering, is a Biblical pilgrimage festival that occurs in autumn on the 15th day of the month of Tishri (early- to late-October). 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.
