Sukkah

A sukkah is a temporary dwelling — sometimes called a hut — covered by organic material, like tree branches or bamboo. A sukkah (plural: sukkot) serves as the means of fulfilling the biblical commandment to live in a sukkah for a week on the holiday of Sukkot. For the duration of the holiday, as long as it is not raining, those celebrating typically eat, socialize, and sleep in the sukkah rather than in their permanent homes.
