  5. Bonfire Sukkot • Why do we celebrate sukkot for eight days and people in Israel seven days? - Because in the olden days there were three judges and when there was a full moon they would tell a judge and light a bonfire. When the neighbor city saw the bonfire they lit a bonfire too . A couple weeks later when all of Israel knew about the full moon, some people got on a boat to tell the rest of the Jewish world. But, by the time it got here they didn’t know what day the full moon was on. So, since they didn’t know the right day for Sukkot they celebrated the two possible days instead of one day.
