Sukkot HistorySukkot, also known as the Feast of Tabernacles, is a significant Jewish holiday commemorating the Israelites' exodus from Egypt and their subsequent 40 years spent wandering in the desert. This seven-day festival is marked by the construction of temporary structures called sukkahs, symbolizing the temporary dwellings of the Israelites during their journey. An essential aspect of this observance includes the bringing together the "Four Species" – a citron, a palm frond, myrtle branches, and willow branches – which are waved together during special prayers, symbolising unity among the Jewish people. Historically, Sukkot has its roots in ancient Israel, where it was an agricultural festival celebrating the culmination of the harvest season. The festival's agricultural origins can be linked to Australian Jews, as the holiday emphasises themes of gratitude and thanksgiving for bountiful harvests. As sukkahs are prominent in the southern hemisphere during October, it serves a reminder to appreciate the cycle of nature, and to acknowledge the importance of sustainable farming practices. In Australia, Jewish communities observe Sukkot by attending synagogue services, where they recite the Hallel prayer and bless the "Four Species." Family and friends gather to dine in elaborately decorated sukkahs and participate in customs such as the ushpizin, an ancient tradition of inviting symbolic biblical guests to share the sukkah. Australian Jewish communities may also organise local cultural events and educational workshops during this period. According to the Hebrew calendar, Sukkot is observed in Australia, commencing on the 15th day of Tishrei, usually falling between late September and late October. Sukkot (Begins) facts
