Celebrate Sukkot 5784

Sukkot is one of the Shalosh Regalim (Three Pilgrimage Festivals) whose celebration is commanded by Torah. It is known by various names in the Torah, ranging from Chag HaAsif (Harvest Festival) to Chag HaSukkot (Festival of Booths). While Sukkot has traditionally marked the end of harvest time and therefore the agricultural year in Eretz Israel, it is now more known for the construction of a temporary dwelling known as a sukkah, which serves as a symbolic reminder of God's provisions for the Israelites after they were freed from slavery in Egypt.

 

 

Celebrate Torah with your friends at Agudas Achim as we mark the end of the holiday season by finishing Deuteronomy and starting anew with Bereisheet. This year's Hatan Torah and Kallat Bereshit are TBD.
