what jewish holiday is this week

The Jewish holiday this week is Sukkot, a week-long festival celebrating the traditional harvest gathering. It begins at sunset on Monday, October 6, 2025, and lasts through Monday, October 13, 2025. Sukkot is considered one of the most joyous holidays on the Jewish calendar, marked by dwelling in sukkahs (temporary huts), taking the Four Kinds (lulav, etrog, hadass, and aravah), and rejoicing. Public mourning is discouraged during this holiday as it is a time of celebration and unity. This year, the first full day of Sukkot is October 7, 2025.
