What is SUKKOT?

The Feast: Sukkot

Sukkot, also known as the Feast of Tabernacles, is the only holiday that really encompasses two holidays: Seven days of Sukkot and one day of Shemini Atzeret [upon which we celebrate Simchat Torah]. Sukkot begins just five days after Yom Kippur. Sukkot has the greatest number of unique mitzvot to fulfill on the holiday.

Prophetically, Sukkot/Tabernacles points to the millennial reign of Yahusha while also looking back to the Israelites post-Exodus journey through the wilderness, and commemorates what many believe to be the actual time of Messiah’s birth. So as we assemble to honor Yahuah and our King as a Kingdom of Priests (Exodus 19:6. 1 Peter 2:9, Revelation 1:6), we will truly seek to manifest Heaven on Earth, all bringing our best and serving others with our gifts…the organic Ecclesia in action!

In Hebrew, the word for a single shelter is a sukkah—plural sukkot—so the holiday was called Sukkot in Hebrew. (Pronounced “sue-COTE”.) Every year the Great Awakening get to stay outdoors with our family in a shelter (sukkah) you build and be reminded that all of life is temporary, but that you are heading toward the Promised Land.

The Importance of SUKKOT

(Did you know that Yahusha, whom the world call Jesus, celebrated the Festival of Tabernacles? Read about it in John 7.)

Leviticus 23:40-42

“40 And ye shall take you on the first day (of Sukkot) the boughs of goodly trees (Etrog/citron), branches of palm trees (lulav), and the boughs of thick trees (myrtle), and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the YHVH seven days. 41 And ye shall keep it a feast unto YHVH seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month. 42 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths:

Let's examine the words, “rejoice” and “celebrate”. Rejoice (Hebrew word sa’mach) means to be glad, joyful, filled with joy and excitement. Celebrate (Hebrew word kh’gag’) means to Dance, stagger, reel to and fro; to become giddy (as a drunkard), lightheaded, GaGa. This is what we were commanded to do for 7 days, PARTY!! We will have Feasts and Speakers every night at 6pm during Sukkot.

Numbers 29:12

“And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work, and ye shall keep a feast (Sukkot) unto YHVH seven days:”

Numbers 29:35

“On the eighth day ye shall have a solemn assembly: ye shall do no servile work therein:”

What is it about?
During this feast the children of Israel remember how they dwelt in tabernacles in the wilderness for forty years. They were to go and make booths and to dwell therein for seven days feasting and giving thanks to Most High for bringing them out of Egypt. The first and the eighth day were to be Holy Convocations.

How do we celebrate it?
We celebrate this feast by not doing any servile work on the 1st or 8th day of the feast and having holy Convocations in which we come together with worship service and feast. Most of the Holy Days are observed in local congregations, with the exception of Feast of Tabernacles and the Last Great Day. The Great Awakening Assemblies will gather in tents or cabins is a similar type of temporary dwelling/tabernacle today as our forefathers did. We observe this main festival season of the year with nightly worship services, including those days that are not annual or weekly Sabbaths. This festival is also a time of great spiritual and physical enjoyment and includes programs for families, seniors, teens and young adults.

SUKKAH

(Sukkahs = Temporary Dwellings)13 “You shall keep the Feast of Sukkot seven days, when you have gathered in the produce from your threshing floor and your winepress.14 You shall rejoice in your feast, you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, the Levite, the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow who are within your towns. 15 For seven days you shall keep the feast to YHVH your Elohim at the place that YAHUAH will choose, because YAHUAH your Elohim will bless you in all your produce and in all the work of your hands, so that you will be altogether joyful.16 “Three times a year all your males shall appear before YAHUAH your Elohim at the place that he will choose: at the Feast of Matzot, at the Feast of Shavuot, and at the Feast of Sukkot. They shall not appear before YAHUAH empty-handed. 17 Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of YAHUAH your Elohim that he has given you..

WAVING OF THE LULAV

1. The lulav (palm)(date tree frond), which has a sweet taste (dates) but no particular smell, represents the Jewish scholar, who dedicated to internalizing knowledge (taste) but does not distinguish himself by his good deeds.

2. The hadas (myrtle branch), which has a pleasant smell and no taste, represents the one who is outstanding in his performance of good deeds, which positively affect one’s environment - like a “good smell”, but lacks outstanding Torah scholarship.

3. The etrog (citrus fruit), which has both a good taste and a good smell, represents one that excels both in Torah study as well as in good deeds.

4. The aravah / aravot (willow branch), which has no special smell or taste, represents the person who does not excel in either one of the aforementioned qualities.

Palm — because it is written (Psalms 92:13): ‘The righteous bloom like a date palm.’

Myrtle — because it is written (Zechariah 1:8): ‘And he stood among the myrtle-trees.’

Etrog — because it is written (Psalms 104: 1): ‘You are clothed in glory and majesty.’ (The word translated as majesty is hadar. In the Torah (Leviticus 23:40), the etrog is called the fruit of the goodly tree. The same Hebrew word, hadar, is used in that context to mean goodly.)

Willow — because it is written (Psalms 68:5): ‘Extol Him who rides on the clouds [aravot], YAHUAH is His name.’
