October is a significant month for the Jewish community as it includes several important holidays. One of the most well-known holidays is Yom Kippur, also known as the Day of Atonement, which falls on the 10th day of the Jewish month of Tishrei. It is a solemn day of fasting, prayer, and repentance.
Another major holiday in October is Sukkot, a week-long festival that begins on the 15th day of Tishrei. Sukkot commemorates the Israelites’ journey through the desert and involves building and dwelling in temporary shelters called sukkahs.
