Sukkot

Home > Worship > Holidays > Sukkot

During Sukkot, we build sukkot (temporary dwellings), shake the lulav and etrog, and celebrate the fall harvest festival.

One of the major festival holidays on our Jewish calendar, WHC holds a Sukkot festival service on the first day of the holiday and a Yizkor and festival service on the last day of the holiday.
