Understanding Your Jewish Neighbour: Sukkot

The Feast of Tabernacles, or Sukkot, invites God’s people to step into a story of dependence, joy, and hope. Each year, Jewish families build fragile shelters—sukkot—to remember God’s provision in the wilderness and his promise to dwell among his people. For Christians, this festival points to Jesus, the true source of light, living water, and lasting shelter. As global tensions rise and many struggle with uncertainty, Sukkot reminds us that our security rests not in what we build, but in the God who still tabernacles with us today—offering presence, peace, and the joy of his unfailing care.
