Sukkah
(n) The symbolic temporary shelter erected in observance of Sukkot. A sukkah is usually constructed of branches, leaves, and twigs or similar material, allowing for the sky to be visible through the canopy. Practices vary from erecting a sukkah purely for ornamental purposes, to eating within one, to even sleeping in one. This practice commemorates 40 years spent wandering in the desert, and it stands as a practical celebration of the harvest.
