Sukkot21 play online

On the 15th day of the month of Tishrei, the seven-day celebration begins, when Jews celebrate Sukkot, or the Feast of Tabernacles. Traditions prescribe these days to praise the Almighty, not living under the roof of the house, but spending them in a sukkah (tabernacle, tent). This autumn holiday serves as a reminder of the wandering of the Jews in the Sinai desert, as well as that a person should be closer to nature, enjoy its gifts and not allow himself to be proud of any material riches. The Israelites on these days made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem and celebrated the harvest. One of the important traditions is the reading of the Mosaic Laws. On the first and last days of Sukkot, it is forbidden to work, there is a commandment to treat poor students studying the Torah, as well as the ritual "ascension of lulav" with four types of plants (etrog, lulav, adas and arava), each of which corresponds to a certain type of people, and together they symbolize the unity of the nation.
