Sukkot Is The Jewish Festival Of Rejoicing

The celebration of Sukkot is the Jewish festival of rejoicing. Sukkot commemorates the forty-year period during which the children of Israel were wandering in the desert, living in temporary shelters. Ushpizin takes place during this festival. There are customs seen in the movie such as gemah meaning acts of kindness, the waving of the four species, and the shtreimel; a circular fur hat made of fox tails that are worn on the Sabbath or holidays.
There are three major traditions associated with Sukkot, the building a sukkah and eating in the sukkah, welcoming guests or ushpizins to your sukkah during Sukkot, and waving the four species. To honor the descendants, Jews are instructed to live or at least eat in temporary shelters. During the festival of Sukkot, it is considered a blessing to host guests in the sukkah.
“They are waved in each of the four directions and are included in the ritual representing God's dominion over Creation.” A distinctive facet of Sukkot encompasses the search for the flawless citrine. Moshe hastily uses the money to buy the citron dubbed “the diamond,” believed to be the most perfect citron in all Jerusalem.
Gemah means acts of loving kindness and traditionally is a charitable group that allocates funds and other provisions to the poor within the Orthodox society. Moshi and Malli are broke at the beginning of the movie; they pray for a miracle and by God’s grace are selected to receive a thousand dollars from the organization. The service of the organization provided the miracle Moshe and Malli needed in order to give thanks and praise God properly for Sukkot. Moshe buys the citron, finds an abandoned sukkah and rebuilds it, and the couple is blessed to welcome guests to celebrate
