Sukkot and Simchat Torah

The origins of Sukkot are both historical and agricultural. Historically, Sukkot commemorates the forty-year period during which the children of Israel were wandering in the desert, living in temporary shelters. Agriculturally, Sukkot is a harvest festival and is sometimes referred to as Chag HaAsif (חג האסיף, the “Festival of Ingathering”), as it celebrates the gathering of the harvest.

Sukkot 2022 will begin in the evening of Sunday, October 9 and ends in the evening of Sunday, October 16

Join TBS for Our Jewish Festival of Thanksgiving and Gratitude in our Sukkah for 1, 2, 3, 4 or as many of these as you choose! Fulfill the mitzvot of eating in the Sukkah and shaking the lulav and etrog.
