The seventh day of the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, 21st day of Tishrei, is known as Hoshana Rabbah ( Aramaic: הו ֹ ש ַׁ ע ְ נ ָ א ר ַ ב ָּ א, " Great Hoshana / Supplication ").

* The Egyptian place of Succoth ( Sukkot ), near the start of the Israelites ' Exodus from Egypt.

The Biblical mandate for the holy day of the first day of Sukkot is in 23: 33-35:

The seventh day of the Sukkot is called Hoshanah Rabbah, the " Great Hoshanah " ( singular of Hoshanot and the source of the English word hosanna ).

This name reflects the fact that while in many respects Shemini Atzeret is a separate holiday in its own right, in certain respects its celebration is linked to that of Sukkot.

Kosher can also refer to anything that is fit for use or correct according to halakha, such as a hanukiyah ( candelabra for Hannukah ), or a sukkah ( a Sukkot booth ).

Together with Shavuot (" Pentecost ") and Sukkot (" Tabernacles "), Passover is one of the three pilgrimage festivals ( Shalosh Regalim ) during which the entire Jewish populace historically made a pilgrimage to the Temple in Jerusalem.

Sometimes the term mahzor is also used for the prayer books for the three pilgrim festivals, Pesach, Shavuot and Sukkot.

Sukkot ( or or, Feast of Booths, Feast of Tabernacles ) is a biblical holiday celebrated on the 15th day of the month of Tishrei ( late September to late October ).

Sukkot is agricultural in origin.

Sukkot is a seven day holiday, with the first day celebrated as a full festival with special prayer services and holiday meals.

The seventh day of Sukkot is called Hoshana Rabbah (" Great Hoshana ", referring to the tradition that worshippers in the synagogue walk around the perimeter of the sanctuary during morning services ) and has a special observance of its own.

Throughout the week of Sukkot, meals are eaten in the sukkah and Orthodox Jewish families sleep there, although the requirement is waived in case of rain.

Observance of Sukkot is detailed in the Book of Nehemiah and Leviticus 23: 34-44 in the Bible, the Mishnah ( Sukkah 1: 1 – 5: 8 ); the Tosefta ( Sukkah 1: 1 – 4: 28 ); and the Jerusalem Talmud ( Sukkah 1a –) and Babylonian Talmud ( Sukkah 2a – 56b ).

On the Shabbat which falls during the week of Sukkot ( or in the event when the first day of Sukkot is on Shabbat ), the Book of Ecclesiastes is read during morning synagogue services in Israel.

This Book's emphasis on the ephemeralness of life (" Vanity of vanities, all is vanity ...") echoes the theme of the sukkah, while its emphasis on death reflects the time of year in which Sukkot occurs ( the " autumn " of life ).

The seventh day of Sukkot is known as Hoshana Rabbah, meaning the " Great Supplication ".

The holiday immediately following Sukkot is known as Shemini Atzeret ( lit.

Shemini Atzeret is often referred to as the eighth day of the Festival of Sukkot, which occupies the seven preceding days ( this term is slightly erroneous, however ).

Those of Sukkot refer to agricultural gifts to the poor required to be separated from the crops by Sukkot ; that of Shemini Atzeret is entirely different.

The Hebrew word shemini means " eighth ," and refers to its position on " the eighth day " of Sukkot, actually a seven-day holiday.

Thus, just as Passover is described in the Torah as a seven-day holiday but is observed for eight outside of Israel, so Sukkot is described in the Torah as a seven-day holiday but is observed for eight outside of Israel.

Still extant echoes of these celebrations are found in the mid-autumn Thanksgiving holiday of the United States and Canada, and the Jewish Sukkot holiday with its roots as a full-moon harvest festival of " tabernacles " ( huts wherein the harvest was processed and which later gained religious significance ).

Like the holiday of Sukkot, the intermediary days of Passover are known as Chol HaMoed ( festival weekdays ) and are imbued with a semi-festive status.

According to the prophet Zechariah, in the messianic era Sukkot will become a universal festival and all nations will make pilgrimages annually to Jerusalem to celebrate the feast there.

In the days of the Temple in Jerusalem, all Jewish men, women, and children on pilgrimage to Jerusalem for the festival would gather in the Temple courtyard on the first day of Chol HaMoed Sukkot to hear the Jewish king read selections from the Torah.

* 23 September: A 48-year-old man was killed and three of his children wounded, one seriously, in a shooting attack near the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron during the Sukkot festival.

* The Jewish festival of Sukkot.

After the destruction of the Temple, Jews celebrated the festival of Sukkot on the Mount of Olives.

The festival of Sukkot ( Festival of Booths ) therefore concludes with a prayer recited upon leaving the sukkah ( booth ): " May it be your will, Lord our God and God of our forefathers, that just as I have fulfilled and dwelt in this sukkah, so may I merit in the coming year to dwell in the sukkah of the skin of Leviathan.

Simchat Torah is a component of the Biblical Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret (" Eighth Day of Assembly "), which follows immediately after the festival of Sukkot in the month of Tishrei ( mid-September to early October on the Gregorian calendar ).

# Sukkah: ( סוכה ) (" Booth "); deals with the festival of Sukkot ( the Feast of Tabernacles ) and the Sukkah itself.
