Shemini Atzeret: What Is It?

Immediately following the seven days of Sukkot comes the holiday of Shemini Atzeret (the eighth day of refrain). What is the meaning and significance of this obscure holiday?

Shemini Atzeret There seems to be a duplication of the 'seven days of inauguration' here (Lev. 8:35- 9:6), and maybe a multiplication too. Was G-d showing us how Israel would grow from Aaron to become a kingdom of priests? I enjoy exploring these teachings, and finding new applications for personal growth. Thank You!! Reply
