But whatever their unusual perspective, they must follow the rules like anyone else. I don't mean to exaggerate how easy it is for the behavior of the group to keep someone from making trouble.

Sukkot falls on the 15th of the Jewish month of Tishrai.
Jewish months are lunar months.
They always start on a new moon and the 15th of the month is always a full moon. During biblical times, before the Jews were taken in exile to Babylon, this holiday was called Hag ha-Asif, the Festival of the Harvest. Because it was a joyous time, it was also called Zeman Simhatenu, the happy season. Sukkot is a pilgrimage festival. Jews from all over the country and the world would pack their goods and journey to Jerusalem.
