What Is A Sukkah Slideshow

Hundreds of thin wooden boards stacked in two directions to create the communal space.

An impossible-looking structure where walls of glass maintain the weight of a massive tree trunk.

A sand-filled, open-air dome made from plywood, twine, and marsh grass that reaches out in all directions.

Using cardboard messages from those in need of a home as the walls of the shelter, the creeds of Sukkot couldn't be more profoundly expressed.

Winding and turning, this thick wicker Sukkah gives a curvy shape to an often sharply edged structure.

On a raised platform, this structure appears to float in the air. Its wiry canopy allows fresh air and light to stream in from all angles.

Looping continuous wires around a bamboo scaffold creates a grandiose archway strewn with feathers and mounted over boardwalk planks.

With sides made of plywood, this sukkah has a bed of palm fronds for a roof.

Most sukkahs are decorated with harvest-themed items like pumpkins and grasses. Here, palm fronds create a decorative, arched doorway for the outdoor dining room.
