In Israel we are now in our annual "Holiday/Half Holiday" period, in which pretty much everything slows down, or is postponed.
Have you ever been to a simcha? A simcha is a celebration.
Many non-Jews are familiar with Passover, Chanukah, and the High Holy Day days of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
The third holy convocation of the High Holy Days is Sukkot, also known as the Feast of Tabernacles or the Feast of Booths. Since this feast was often associated with the fall harvest, it is also referred to in the Bible as the Feast of Ingathering. The biblical roots for this feast are in the commandment that God gave to Moses found in Leviticus (23:42, 43) and Deuteronomy (16:12-15).
