Second Holiday of Sukkot

AA

Question

Greetings! As far as I know, there is a second holiday of Sukkot. Therefore, I would like to know when the second holiday will be this year. Respectfully, Golan

Answer

Greetings and blessings,

On the eighth day of the festival of Sukkot, there is a holiday known as Shemini Atzeret - Simchat Torah, during which one does not eat in the sukkah, and it is considered a festival on its own.

This year, Shemini Atzeret will fall on Shabbat, the 22nd of Tishrei.

Best regards - Binyamin Shmueli
