Not a high holiday.[/quote]

Acutally, I just learned Sukkot and Simchat Torah are considered High Holidays.  I am Jewish and actively involved in my synagogue and learned this last week!  We were discussing the dates of something at a board meeting and all of the members were like we can do it "after the high holidays, like October 6th" and our Rabbi was like after the holidays is October 18th!  Who knew?  So I looked it up and although colloquially we refer to the high holidays as Rosh Hashshanah and Yom Kippur, it does go through Simchat Torah.

And this is why it is absolutely fine that the OP asked the question.  I don't feel like I'm doing the "labor" of answering it.  If I don't want to answer I don't have to.  And look at all of the lovely discourse one wouldn't have with a simple Google.[/quote]

ok, i'm the PP and being pedantic now, but Sukkot, Shavuot, and Pesach are actually the three Pilgrimages, or Shloshah Regalim in hebrew. So i've never thought about Sukkot as a high holiday, especially since you don't need to buy a ticket to go to Sukkot services typically! :)[/quote]

But your High Holiday ticket will get you into Sukkot services (and weekly Shabbat services too)!  :wink: [/quote]
