Jewish people observe the festival of Sukkot by constructing temporary shelters called sukkahs to symbolize the wilderness dwellings during the Exodus. The week-long celebration involves dwelling in the sukkah, praying, and participating in the Four Species ritual, which consists of the etrog, lulav, myrtle, and willow. Special meals are held, and the community reflects on themes of gratitude and harvest. Sukkot also emphasizes hospitality, encouraging the welcoming of guests into these temporary shelters, fostering a sense of community and awareness of the struggles faced during the journey to the Promised Land.
