Sukkot 2024 Date. Sukkot is part of a seven day period approximately that is also referred to as the feast of the tabernacles. All observances except passover begin the prior evening.

The seven days of sukkot —celebrated by dwelling in the sukkah, taking the four kinds, and rejoicing —are followed by shemini atzeret/simchat. 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.
