The Sukkah
 According
to halacha (Jewish law) a sukkah requires that the top covering of branches,
called s'chach, must let in at most half of the available sun-light,
creating a majority of shade.
We use a bamboo made epically for
Sukkot.
The dwelling in booths implied in Deuteronomy is (in Leviticus) expressly
commanded. The booths are given a symbolic meaning, and are brought into
relation with the wandering in the wilderness: "so your generations may know
that I made the children of Israel dwell in booths, when I brought them out
of the land of Egypt."
