The cultural origin of the Sukkot festival celebrated in Judaism is rooted in the agricultural harvest and commemorates the 40 years of wanderings in the desert after the Exodus from Egypt. Known as the Feast of Tabernacles or the Feast of Booths, the festival focuses on building temporary structures called sukkahs, symbolizing the fragile dwellings of the Jewish people's journey. It is a time of thankfulness for harvests and divine protection.
