Getting Ready for Sukkot

Outdoor Living
The holiday of Sukkot is all about welcoming guests to come spend time in your sukkah, your temporary "home" outside of your home, but there are plenty of ways to enjoy the holiday with or without a sukkah.

Shake the Lulav
From sukkah decorations to snack recipes to a lulav and etrog tutorial, find what you need on the holiday hub.

Haggadah

A Joyful Cycle

Water Works
The end of Sukkot has a special celebration to signal the changing of seasons, called Shemini Atzeret. Tap into some fun activities that explore rain and water.

Celebrating the Torah
Simchat Torah marks the close of the Jewish New Year and final reading from the Torah, which starts over each year. It's a day for joyful singing and dancing -- perfect for family fun.
