DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES - SEPTEMBER 23: Jewish teens take part in the first Sukkot Hop ever to be held in the United Arab Emirates on September 23, 2021 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Sukkot hopping has become a modern holiday ritual, with people (often kids and families) visiting multiple sukkot structures in one day. Sukkot, the Harvest Festival, is a Torah-commanded Jewish holiday marking the end of the agricultural year in the Land of Israel. The holiday also pays homage to the structural dwellings, also called sukkot, early Israelites lived in during their 40 years of exile in the desert. (Photo by Andrea DiCenzo/Getty Images)
