Joel C. Rosenberg: What is “Sukkot,” the Feast of Tabernacles, and why do Jews celebrate it?

New post on Joel C. Rosenberg's Blog

What is “Sukkot,” the Feast of Tabernacles, and why do Jews celebrate it? by joelcrosenberg Shalom from Israel and Chag Same'ach -- happy holidays! We have just begun the third of the Fall Feasts. The first was Rosh HaShana, the Jewish New Year. The second is Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. This one is known as Sukkot, or the Feast of Tabernacles. What is this feast all about? Why do we as Jews celebrate it? And how does it relate to the prophetic plan of the Lord, as laid out in the Scriptures? These are  important questions, and to provide the answers I commend this excellent article to you. I hope you'll read it and discuss it with family and friends, and share it with others on social media. Thanks, and may the Lord bless you as you study His Word and draw nearer to Him day by day. ““In that day I will raise up the tabernacle [sukkah] of David that is fallen and repair its breaches, and raise up its ruins and rebuild it as in the days of old, that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations who are called by my name,” declares the Lord who does this.” Amos 9:11-12 ———————-—- Subscribe (free) to the RSS feed (click here) and receive every new posting on this blog directly via email.
