The origins are to be found in Vayikra [Leviticus] Ch.23., v.34, where the people are commanded to sit in booths for seven days as a reminder of the booths in which the People of Israel dwelt in the desert. The explanation is that this is an act of thanksgiving to the Almighty for His miracles and protection in the desert and ever since, as the original sukkot were an act of faith in the desert. Another name for the festival is "Hag Ha'assif", the harvest festival. Sukkot is rich in symbols, especially theArba'a Minim [the Four Species], and those of the Ushpizin [hospitality], the traditional seven eminent biblical guests who are said to honour us by visiting our sukkah.
