Today marks the ending of Sukkot, Holiday of Shelters. Until this evening, I was not familiar with the history or meaning of this holiday. Briefly, it is an agriculture festival that is commemoration of the Israelites leaving slavery in Egypt. While they wandered in wilderness after leaving Egypt the entire community lived in shelters .
This year's celebration began on September 29 and ended tonight October 6.
This evening we dined in a temporary shelter.
What a blessing to learn more about this important holiday.
