Sukkah

A Sukkah is a temporary outdoor structure built during the Jewish festival of Sukkot, symbolizing the shelters used by the Israelites during their 40 years in the desert. It typically features a roof made of natural materials like branches or reeds, allowing stargazing while providing shelter. The Sukkah serves as a reminder of reliance on divine protection and encourages community, gratitude, and reflection. Families eat, sometimes sleep, and gather in the Sukkah throughout the holiday, emphasizing impermanence and trust in divine provision.
