Sukkot is a Jewish holiday that begins on the 15th of Tishri, according to the Hebrew calendar. Over the course of seven days, observers of this holiday construct temporary houses known as sukkahs in which they take their meals, pray and receive guests. Sukkot is a festive holiday that follows the fasting of Yom Kippur.

The Four Species
As a part of the Sukkot festivities, observers are required to use four different plant species as a part of a blessing ritual. The four species are a date palm branch, a willow branch, a myrtle branch and a citron. The species are waved in a specific pattern during prayer to symbolize the unity of Jews around the world.Judaism 101: Sukkot -
