This is called Sukkot. Jews build and decorate a sukkah, which means hut and spend as much time as possible in there. They eat, pray and even sleep in the shelter to remember when Moses led the Jews through the wilderness. They give thanks to God for providing food and shelter. We made a Sukkah we can go in outside. We decorated it with paper chains. We also had fun trying to make our own mini sukkah inside.
