A week-long Jewish festival of camping in tents — remembering the wilderness years
lightbulbIsrael's annual camping trip — living in temporary shelters to remember the wilderness years
Also called Sukkot or the Feast of Booths. For seven days, Israelites lived in temporary shelters (sukkot) to remember the 40 years God sustained them in the wilderness. It was a joyful harvest celebration. In John 7, Jesus attended this feast and declared 'If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink' — claiming to be the fulfillment of the water ceremony performed during Sukkot. It's one of the three major pilgrimage festivals.
