Saharane, the kurdish-jewish festival during sukkot[edit]

u should expand on it. it is held every year in Israel. Krqftan (talk) 21:59, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Religious significance of the holiday[edit]

Would anyone also deem it important to make reference to the general values surrounding Sukkot/why the holiday holds personal significance? The introduction includes many details about the names, history, and practices of Sukkot, but there is nothing in reference to the importance of historical reflection along with the values of community and hospitality. Without it, a reader unfamiliar with the holiday may take an impression from the article that Sukkot is a holiday with obscure historical roots and strange present-day practices without understanding its spiritual importance.

I think this is tricky. There could be a "spiritual significance" section, but I have two concerns about it:

1) It would tend to reflect the personal opinion of the Wikipedia editor(s) writing it. I just removed a bit about how Sukkoth represents the rejection of materialism from the intro, both because it didn't belong in the first paragraph and because it only represents a small fraction of those who celebrate the holiday. You want to talk about the values of community and hospitality, but I think that's less common than the materialism bit (hospitality is more explicitly associated with Passover).

2) Looking at the Wikipedia articles for other holidays, I don't see sections on spiritual significance -- maybe the closest is the small "Theological Significance" section for Easter.

If you (or anyone else) do want to write such a section, I'd be careful about sourcing, and maybe specifically reference the streams of Judaism that associate the specific meanings with Sukkoth. Rxtreme (talk) 17:35, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

non-authoritative source[edit]

jewishvoice.org is a website for messianic Judaism, which is a sect of Christianity. Much of the information on the website is not accurate in terms of mainstream Judaism, and it should not be used as a source when it comes to topics relevant to Judaism in general. 24.250.22.107 (talk) 18:25, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
