What is Sukkot?

Sukkot is a weeklong Jewish holiday that comes five days after Yom Kippur. It celebrates the gathering of the harvest and commemorates the miraculous protection G‑d provided for the children of Israel when they left Egypt. We celebrate by dwelling in a foliage-covered booth (the sukkah) and by taking the "Four Kinds": a lulav, an etrog, myrtles, and willows.
