Hello! Here is important information for Sukkot 2024. Let’s begin with the dates:
Sukkot 2024 begins at sunset on October 16, 2024 and ends at nightfall on October 23, 2024. The first two days of Sukkot (from sundown of the first date listed, until nightfall two days later) are full-fledged, no-work-allowed holiday days. The subsequent days are Chol Hamoed, when work is allowed, albeit with restrictions. The final day of Sukkot is known as Hoshanah Rabbah. Sukkot is immediately followed by the holiday of Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah.
Here are the dates for Sukkot for upcoming years:
2025: Sundown on October 6 - Nightfall on October 13
2026: Sundown on September 25 - Nightfall on October 2
2027: Sundown on October 15 - Nightfall on October 22
2028: Sundown on October 4 - Nightfall on October 11
Note: The Jewish calendar date begins at sundown of the night beforehand. Thus all holiday observances begin at sundown on the secular dates listed, with the following day being the first full day of the holiday. Jewish calendar dates conclude at nightfall.
