Sukkot is observed in Jewish tradition as a festival connected to shelter, impermanence, and care. It is often marked through time spent in temporary structures, shared meals, and remembrance.

The festival carries themes of vulnerability and gratitude — of recognising how much depends on care, community, and circumstance.

I want to acknowledge Sukkot without assuming how it is observed, or what it means in any one life.

If Sukkot is part of your tradition, I hope it offers moments of reflection and connection. And if it is not, the idea of tending to what shelters us — physically or otherwise — may still feel quietly relevant.
