Faith Festivals… Sukkot
Sukkot...
by Angela Banner, Jewish representative of Redbridge Faith Forum
This is another harvest festival
We decorate an outside booth or hut with fruit and vegetables. We also eat our meals there. On the last day of this festival there is great rejoicing in the synagogue.
This year it begins 6th October 2025 at sundown; ends at nightfall on 13th October 2025.
