Sukkot, also known as the Feast of Tabernacles or Feast of Booths, is a Torah-commanded Jewish holiday celebrated for seven days, beginning on the 15th day of the month of Tishrei. It is one of the Three Pilgrimage Festivals on which Israelites were commanded to make a pilgrimage to the Temple in Jerusalem. Biblically an autumn harvest festival and a commemoration of the Exodus from Egypt, Sukkot's modern observance is characterized by festive meals in a sukkah, a temporary wood-covered hut, and the taking of the four species. Sukkot begins on 15 Tishrei and lasts seven days.

Why does the date move?

Jewish holidays are fixed in the Hebrew calendar, which is lunisolar: months follow the moon, and a leap month is added seven times every nineteen years to stay aligned with the seasons. Because Hebrew years are 353–385 days long, each holiday drifts within a roughly month-wide window of the civil calendar. All Jewish holidays begin at sundown on the evening before the date shown.
