The central event during the Feast of Tabernacles, also known as Sukkot, observed in various cultures involves the ritual of living in temporary shelters, called *sukkahs*. This practice commemorates the Israelites’ journey in the desert and symbolizes reliance on divine protection. Participants often share meals and engage in communal prayers, fostering connections with family and friends. The festival emphasizes themes of gratitude, harvest, and togetherness, celebrating both agricultural abundance and spiritual significance.
