Four days after Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), the autumn harvest holiday of Sukkot begins. Observant Jews build sukkot, or booths similar to those used by the Israelites in the desert after the Exodus from Egypt. During the holiday, it is customary to eat in the sukkah and to symbolically invite seven biblical figures or ushpizin--Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, and David--one on each day of the festival. The sukkah walls are often covered with decorations such as this 20th century printed example featuring illustrations and inscriptions related to each one of the biblical guests at center as well as depictions of Jewish holy sites and the signs of the zodiac within medallions above and along the sides.
