a Jewish celebration held for a week every autumn, to celebrate the harvest (= the picking of crops) and, by building small shelters, to remember the time when the Jews were walking through the desert during their escape from Egypt

The Jewish Feast of Tabernacles is celebrated in September or October as a festival of thanksgiving. 犹太人的住棚节就是感恩节，在九月或十月庆祝。

My great-grandfather was born in Amsterdam on the Feast of the Tabernacles, October 16 1897. 我的曾祖父于1897年10月16日住棚节那天出生在阿姆斯特丹。
