Sukkot was commanded by God (Leviticus ch.23). It commemorates the protection which God gave us in the wilderness, and it gives thanks for the annual ingathering of grain. It also marks the beginning of mentioning the rainy season in our prayers.

what is the importance of sukkot?

Sukkot is one of the 3 pilgrimage festivals in the Jewish calendar, see Exodus 23:14-17. It is also called the festival of booths (the Hebrew word sukkah can be translated as booth) and Jews are commanded to live in booths for the week. It is a fall harvest festival celebrated for a week, as commanded in Leviticus 23:39-43 and Numbers 29:12-34. The 7 days of Sukkot are followed by an 8th day of assembly which is technically a separate festival.
