Sukkot

Each autumn, Jewish families around the globe mark Sukkot, a festival that begins five days after Yom Kippur. Falling in September or October, it is a time to think back on the lives of the ancient Israelites. This book introduces young readers to the holiday through colorful photographs and straightforward explanations. Children learn how a sukkah, a temporary shelter, is constructed and decorated, what the four species are and why they matter, and which foods are traditionally shared during the celebration.
