Is it to celebrate the fall harvest? It says it’s a joyful time with festivities for families and friends and commemorates the40 years the Jews spent trying to escape slavery in Egypt. Why is it spelled Sukkot? Took me a while to find sukoh..are they the same? When I come across a post that I’ve never heard about, I look it up…always learning something here 🤔
