The significance of handmade tallit sets and Sukkot celebrations for Jews

1. The significance of handmade tallit sets and Sukkot celebrations for Jews In many traditions and customs, praying to God builds the relationship between God and human beings. To pray is to serve God with your heart, obeying God's commandment, which says: “To love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul” (Deuteronomy 11:13). Like other people of faith, there are many different ways in which Jews pray. One of such occasions which has a deeper significance in the life of Jews is the festival of Sukkot. According to biblical traditions, different daily prayers are held on each of the seven days of Sukkot. On the first day of Sukkot, whole prayer congregations are held, and during CholHamoed, other prayers are performed. From the 1st day to the 7th day of the prayer, one can hear the traditional blast of the shofar and see people wearing their handmade tallit sets.

2. Prayers on days 1 and 2 On the first and second days of Sukkot, instead of the ordinary ones, special prayers are held in the morning as well as in the evening. These prayers basically describe what is held during Shabbat. The prayers recited on Day 1 and 2 of Sukkot are those that are usually recited on the three Biblical holidays in Judaism. CholHamoed On every day of CholHamoed, regular prayer services are held as per the weekday order of prayers (not the festival order of prayers) along with normal Amidah. Many tasks such as laundry washing, cutting nails, shaving, haircutting, fishing for commercial purposes, etc are to be avoided except in some circumstances. Hallel Hallel is a prayer of thanksgiving added to the morning service on Sukkot. Complete recitation of the Hallel is performed every day at the end of the morning prayer. Throughout Hallel, the Four Species have been used(bundle of palm, myrtle and willow branches), i.e. lulav, etrog (citron), hadas (myrtle) and arava (willow). On each morning as well as during certain portions

3. of the service, these four species are gripped together. Reciting Hallel is regarded as an act of praise and thanksgiving. After Hallel is over, worshippers gather around the bimah and hold special prayers called hoshanot. Hoshanot is an appeal to God to give abundance wealth to the children of Israel in the coming year. The prayers end with the reading of the Torah. Sukkot and tallit Sukkot celebrations and tallit have remained an inseparable part of Jewish tradition. It is a fantastic scene to see people who attend the morning and evening prayers at the synagogue wearing their traditional handmade tallit on top of their outdoor clothes and offering their prayers at the synagogue. Many people around the world also use the occasion of Sukkot to gift a tallit set to their family and relatives.
