When is Sukkot? The holiday of Sukkot always falls in September - October. Sukkot 2025 begins on Monday night, October 6 and ends on Monday night, October 13, 2025 followed by Shmini Atzeret/Simchat Torah which is one day in Israel (October 14) and two days outside of Israel (October 14-15).
Known as the "Feast of Tabernacles" or the "Feast of Booths," Sukkot is a joyous Jewish celebration that marks the end of the agricultural year in Israel. This unique holiday is one of the Three Pilgrimage Festivals, a time when Jews would journey to the Temple in ancient times. The core spirit of Sukkot is twofold: it serves as a commemoration of the 40-year journey of the Israelites in the desert, living in temporary shelters, and as a moment to express gratitude for the year's harvest. During Sukkot, Jews eat all meals, and some even sleep, in a sukkah, a temporary hut adorned with branches. The Sukkot programs have large Sukkot in order to accommodate all the guests.
Sukkot provides a golden opportunity for a family getaway. It is a long holiday, lasting for eight days in Israel and nine days outside of Israel, the kids are on vacation and the weather is usually pleasant. This makes Sukkot an ideal time to explore new destinations, delve into cultural sightseeing, or simply unwind on sun-kissed beaches.
