Sukkot is a week-long Jewish festival which falls shortly after Yom Kippur.
Sukkot in Israel is a time of vacation – the first and last days are national holidays when most businesses will be closed (similar to a regular Shabbat), whilst the intermediary days are normal business days except for the fact that many Israelis take the time off work. The result is that there are lots of activities for Sukkot across Israel so it is a great time to be visiting. The Sukkot festival in 2014 falls between 8 to 15 October 2014 although the events also take place slightly before and after these dates.
