What is it?
Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles, or Booths, is God’s week-long celebration at the close of the harvest (Leviticus 23:33–43). For seven days, families build and live in temporary shelters called sukkot, remembering how God sheltered Israel in the wilderness and provided every step of the way.
Scripture calls it a time to rejoice, so much so that tradition names it z’man simchateinu, “the season of our joy.” It’s the most festive, family-filled week on the biblical calendar.
Why it matters
When John describes Yeshua’s coming, he reaches for the language of this very feast: the Word “became flesh and tabernacled among us” (John 1:14). Yeshua Himself kept Sukkot (John 7), and Scripture ends with its fulfillment: God dwelling with humanity, wiping every tear (Revelation 21:3).
So we build our booths and rejoice, remembering His provision behind us, and celebrating the promise ahead: a King who has come to dwell, and is coming to dwell forever.
