As the Sukkot holiday begins on the evening of Friday, September 25th, Israelis are preparing for a week of traditional observance and family travel. While the first and last days of Sukkot, September 26th and October 3rd respectively, are typically spent at home with family, often in a sukkah, the intermediate days, known as Chol HaMoed, are traditionally dedicated to family outings.
Many Israelis continue a historical tradition of pilgrimage to Jerusalem, while others embark on journeys throughout the country. These trips often include visits to nature reserves, national parks, and various cultural sites. The holiday offers opportunities for children to engage in educational activities and explore the country's attractions.
To facilitate holiday planning, a comprehensive list of events has been compiled, categorized by region. These include activities in parks, museums, nature reserves, and other cultural venues. The events are further detailed in separate articles focusing on the north, center, Jerusalem, and the south of the country.
