The Jewish feast OF Tabernacles or
Succoth will commence on Wednesday
evening, October II, and will last for
nine days. According to the Bible the
feast lasted only seven days. In the
course OF time, however, the feast was
heightened to nine days.. the last two
being The Eighth day Of Solemn AS
sembly or the Feast Of Conclusion.
and the Day Of the Rejoicing for the
Law.
Succoth, means booths, and the
name owes its origin TO the fact that
on this feast many families build fes-
tive booths In which the holiday meals
are served. In some cases pious peo-
pie will spend all the days Of the feast
living In the booth In order to give
literal fulfllment to the injunction: "In
booths shall ye dwell seven days"
The frail booth built as temporary
dwelling, an imperfect shelter from
the elements. is to remind man that
he is constantly under the protection
OF Almighty just as the father of Is
rael were under His protection in the
wilderness. In order that your gen.
erations may know that made the
children Of Israel dwell In booths,
when brought them up from the land
Of Egypt"
The sentiment Of the feast is rooted
deep in the ancient agricultural life OF
Israel. Succoth was one OF the great
pilgrimage festivals. The other two
were Passover and the Feast of
Weeks. Each Of these was at the har-
vest time OF some particular crop. Or
these three occasions the people from
all over the land Of Canaan would
journey to the Holy City and spend
the festipal there. This feast, Sue.
Goth, known also as the Feast of In
gathering was at the time Of the gath.
ering In Of fruits. The booths there
fore may be reminiscent OF the booths
erected by the busy harvesters as
temporary dwelling in the field. The
palm branches and the willows, the
myrtle and citron still borne in pro.
cession around the synagog OH this
feast also suggest this ancient harvest
setting.
Succoth was the last OF three har.
vest festivals; and as 1t ushered In
the winter season when rain was need.
cd for next years crop, water sery.
ice was held in the Temple; and to
this day the prayers for the last day
of Succoth include special prayers for
rain. which are continued in the serv.
ices until the time when the spring
harvest comes again with the feast OF
Passover.
