Jews from the evening of October 1 will celebrate Hoshan the slave, the seventh day of Sukkot

On the 21st of the month the Tishrei of the Jewish calendar will mark the seventh day of Sukkot, Hoshan the slave. In 2026, according to the Gregorian calendar Hoshan slave will come in the evening of October 1.

Hoshana is the seventh day of Sukkot, but it plays a special role in terms of the traditions associated with it. If the word “holiday” is mentioned in the context of Judaism without context, it is most often referred to as Sukkot, in part because religion prescribes Jews to have fun on days when it is celebrated. The seventh day is a time of repentance and prayer.

According to Jewish tradition, the Hoshan slave decides what benefits await humanity in the coming year. This includes the amount of rain. The Hoshan slave is somewhat reminiscent of Yom Kippur, the most important day for religious Jews.

The Jewish calendar of 5787 is the lunar-solar calendar. Each calendar date falls not only on the same season of the year, but also on the same phase of the moon. New day according to the Jewish calendar begins in the evening, and holidays may correspond to different dates according to the Gregorian calendar depending on the year

From the evening of September 25, 2026, the Jews will celebrate the “Feast of Tabernacles” Sukkot
