Sukkot

The festive holiday of Sukkot is named for the booths or huts (sukkot in Hebrew) in which, according to Jewish tradition, the Israelites dwelt during their forty years of wandering in the desert after the Exodus from Egypt. 

Sukkot starts the evening of October 16 and concludes on October 23.
