Sukkot and Harvest

Theme

Being thankful and sharing the harvest.

Learning Objective

To learn how Jewish people celebrate Sukkot and how harvest festivals encourage gratitude and generosity.

Introduction

Show pictures of fruit, vegetables and crops.

Ask:

• Where does our food come from?
• Why is it important to say thank you?

Explain that many faiths celebrate harvest and give thanks for food.

Story

Explain that Jewish people celebrate Sukkot, a festival remembering the time when the Israelites travelled through the wilderness and lived in temporary shelters.

Families build a sukkah (a temporary shelter) and spend time together giving thanks to God for protection and the harvest.

Main Message

Sukkot teaches people:

• Gratitude
• Trust

Many schools also celebrate Harvest by collecting food for food banks and charities.

Being thankful should inspire us to help others.
