The Sukkot festival involves unique customs such as the building of temporary structures called sukkahs, where families eat and sometimes sleep during the festival. Participants also engage in the Four Species ritual, which involves waving the etrog (citron), lulav (palm frond), myrtle, and willow branches during prayers. The festival celebrates agricultural harvests and is linked to themes of gratitude and the protection of God. Additionally, communal meals and festive gatherings are typical, emphasizing joy and sharing among family and friends, reflecting a deep sense of community and tradition.
