Sukkot 101: As Told By Lego Men

by

We love My Jewish Learning’s website for fun was to learn about Jewish traditions, rituals and holidays!

Beginning 5 days after Yom Kippur, Sukkot,often referred to as hag ha-asif, “The Harvest Festival,” commemorates the wanderings of the Israelites in the desert after the revelation at Mount Sinai, with the huts representing the temporary shelters that the Israelites lived in during those 40 years.

Check out this fun “Sukkot 101” video:
