Sukkot 2024 Date And Meaning. Sukkot celebrates the gathering of the harvest and commemorates the miraculous protection. As soon as the solemn day of yom kippur is behind us, we focus on the traditions of the upcoming holiday of sukkot.

The conclusion of sukkot marks the beginning of the separate holidays of shemini atzeret and simchat torah. Sukkot is so unreservedly joyful that it is commonly referred to in jewish prayer and literature as z’man simchateinu (זְמַן שִׂמְחָתֵנוּ), the season of our rejoicing.
