Here is your short paragraph on Tabernacles:

A festival of merry-making, Feat of Booths is observed immediately after Yom Kippur.

This falls in the month of September or October and Jews are enjoined to build booths or huts to mark the festival of Tabernacles in recalling of the temporary dwellings used by each Israelite family during the wandering in the wilderness after the exodus from Egypt.

A unique joyful and holiday atmosphere prevails during the one week observance of the festival when the pious spend their meal and prayer times in the shelter of the booths or huts, the roots covered with leafy branches and twigs decorated with flowers and coconuts through which the stars are visible.
