SOUKHOT

Sukhot, also known as the "Festival of Booths", recalls according to Jewish tradition the protection that God granted to the children of Israel during 40 years in the desert, from their exit from slavery in Egypt until their arrival in the promised land. For one week, the Jews are required to reside in a sukkah, a hut, or at least to have their meals there. If the religious festival is less marked than elsewhere because of the rather secular population which composes Tel-Aviv, it gives however place to pretty festivities.
