Sukkot 2026

Beginning on the Shabbat evening of September 25th, the People of Israel will observe the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot), a Biblical holiday during which we are commanded to leave our homes and dwell for seven days in sukkot, or temporary booths. In doing so, we joyfully recall how our ancestors, while dwelling beneath the Heavenly canopy of the Clouds of Glory, were miraculously sustained by God in a barren and desolate desert for 40 years! Through our observance of this holiday, we also affirm that God continues to watch over us from above to this very day.

Sadly, however, many families in the Biblical Heartland struggle to put even a meager amount of food on their tables. Impoverished and unable to make ends meet, these families lack the means to provide themselves and their children with any sense of festivity during Sukkot, a holiday in which God calls upon us to be completely joyful (Deuteronomy 16:15).  Consequently, it is extraordinarily difficult for such families to experience the fullness of joy that Sukkot is meant to bring. But you can help!
