The word "Sukkot" means "huts" or "booths", referring to the booth-like structures that Jews are to eat their meals in over the course of the holiday, and preferably to sleep in too!
Sukkot is the holiday of joy and Israelis just love to eat! In Jerusalem's famous Mahane Yehuda market, one experiences a real feeling of the upcoming holiday.
Unless consumers on the international market step in, farmers in Israel stand to lose over 50 percent in profits from the annual sale of the four species used for ritual purposes during the holidays.
