Religion and Ritual: Sukkot

Public Tour

A special edition of our Religion and Ritual tour series focuses on Sukkot, which begins on September 26, 2026. The seven-day feast is a joyful, optimistic celebration. In the Book of Leviticus, the third Book of the Old Testament, God commands his people to dwell in thatched booths:

"Ye shall dwell in booths seven days […] That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt."

We will also take a closer look at the Torah, the sacred scripture of Judaism. From an early age, children around the world learn the Hebrew alphabet so that they can read the Torah. Visitors will learn more about the significance of this sacred text for Jews today and how it is interpreted. A sounding world map introduces Jewish languages that developed throughout the diaspora.

In the installation Why Follow the Law, Jewish individuals speak about their personal relationship with religious commandments. Objects and everyday items tell stories about Jewish religious practice, such as the Jewish dietary laws (kashrut) or the commandment of charity (tzedakah). A flamenco dress, a sewing cushion, and a crown offer insights into the diversity within Judaism.
