Sukkot & Thanksgiving Designs
Feast of Tabernacles
Saturday - Friday, October 07, thru October 13, 2006
Sukkot has its historical
roots in the time the Israelites wandered in the wilderness for forty years.
During this time the Israelites lived in temporary dwellings, or booths, that
are represented today by the sukkah...a booth or tent. Historically, Sukkot is
also a harvest festival.
This holiday marked the end of the harvest, when farmers completed their work
and traveled to the Temple in Jerusalem with their families to celebrate and
offer their gratitude for a good harvest.
During this time, they lived in booths.
