The Universal Festival of Sukkos

On the festival of Sukkos (Booths) we strive to reveal God’s Kingship to all humanity, even through all seventy languages of the non-Jewish nations. This is the symbolic meaning of the seventy bulls that were sacrificed in the Holy Temple during the seven days of Sukkos on behalf of the non-Jewish nations. This, too, is why we conclude the prayers associated with the rite of the lulav (palm branch) and its hakafos (procession in the synagogue) with the verse: “Thus all nations may come to know that the Lord is God; there is no other” (I Kings 8:60) (Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, Likkutei Moharan I, 33, end)
