Today, September 20th, is eve of the Jewish holiday Sukkot - the Festival of Shelters or known also as the Feast of Ingathering. It is based on the story of the Exodus of the Jews from Egypt. During his wanderings in the Sinai desert, God surrounded the believers with "clouds of glory", thereby hiding people from the scorching sun. In nowadays during the days of Sukkot, Jews spend time in temporary structures covered with branches, called Sukkah, in which they celebrate and glorify the Lord all seven days of the holiday in memory of the Jews' wandering in the Sinai desert.
