Succot (Feast of Tabernacles) is known as the "Time of Our Rejoicing," marking the culmination of the period of introspection, the Days of Repentance. Succot is also known as the "Season of the Harvest". The feature of this holiday are the succot, temporary dwellings resembling those in which our forefathers dwelt following the Exodus from Egypt. It is customary to invite guests to the succot, including the Seven Divine Guests: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Aaron and David. It is an obligation to acquire the Four Species: a palm frond, myrtle, willow and an etrog (a citrus fruit resembling a lemon), which are held together to symbolize the unity of the Jewish people. This is one of the three holidays of pilgrimage to Jerusalem.
Serialization: Bronze/tombac and silver medals are numbered.
