Sukkot (Hebrew: סוכות or סֻכּוֹת, sukkōt), also known as the Feast of Booths or Feast of Tabernacles, is a Biblical pilgrimage festival that occurs in autumn on the 15th day of the month of Tishri, usually in late September to late October. The holiday lasts 7 days. In Judaism it is one of the three major holidays known collectively as the Shalosh Regalim, or the three pilgrim festivals, when historically the Jewish populace traveled to the Temple in Jerusalem.

The word Sukkot is the plural of the Hebrew word sukkah, meaning booth or hut. During this holiday, Jews are instructed to build a temporary structure in which to eat their meals, entertain guests, relax, and even sleep. The sukkah is reminiscent of the type of huts in which the ancient Israelites dwelt during their 40 years of wandering in the desert after the Exodus from Egypt, and is intended to reflect God’s benevolence in providing for all the Jews’ needs in the desert. It can be built of any materials, but its roof must be of organic material and partially open to the sky.

In modern day Israel, Sukkot is a 7-day holiday, with the first day celebrated as a full festival with special prayer services and holiday meals. Outside the land of Israel, the first two days are celebrated as full festivals. The remaining days are known as Chol HaMoed, or "festival weekdays". The seventh day of Sukkot is called Hoshanah Rabbah and has a special observance of its own.

Only in one place in the four Christian Gospels is there a mention of Sukkot. The Gospel of John mentions Sukkot indicating, "Now the Jews’ feast of tabernacles was at hand." John 7:2. In this account, Jesus asks his own family to attend the feast telling them, "Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come. When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee. But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were, in secret." John 7:8-10
