A sukkah is a temporary hut constructed for use during the week-long Jewish festival of Sukkot. It is a small booth-like structure that is built to commemorate the time the Israelites spent in the wilderness after the Exodus from Egypt. The sukkah is typically made of organic materials such as branches and thatch, and it has a roof that is open to the sky. According to halakha, a sukkah must have three walls, and it should be at least three feet tall. Only the part of the roof that is under the sky is considered kosher. The sukkah is decorated with autumnal, harvest, or Judaic themes, and it is traditional to hang fruit and fragrant plants inside. During the holiday, Jews traditionally spend as much time in the sukkah as possible, and meals are eaten in the sukkah, and some people even choose to sleep in the sukkah. The sukkah symbolizes the fragility and transience of life and ones dependence on God.
