MorgensternSchmini Azeret or Schemini Azeret ( Hebrew שְּׁמִינִי עֲצֶרֶת \'Eighth [day] of the assembly\', German also final festival ) is the Jewish holiday directly following the seven-day Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot), which is often regarded as part of Sukkot. In Orthodox and Conservative Diaspora communities , it is celebrated two days on the 22nd and 23rd, in Israel, and in certain Reformed churches, one day on the 22nd of Tishri , the seventh month of the Jewish calendar , in September or October. The second day of the holiday is called Simchat Torah ; where Schmini Azeret only lasts one day, the two holidays coincide. Schmini Azeret was already celebrated in antiquity following Sukkot, while Simchat Torah was created only in the night Malmudic period.

The holiday is mentioned several times in the Bible , as in Leviticus 23:36 GNB and Numbers 29:35 GNB : \"On the eighth day you come together for the great festive assembly; all work must rest on this day \", as well as the description of the inauguration of the Solomonic Temple in Jerusalem ( 2 Chr 7: 9-10 GNB ) and the celebration of the return of the Jews from the Babylonian exile ( Neh 8,18 GNB ) ,

According to today\'s tradition, Schmini Azeret is still partly eaten in the Sukkah , in the morning the prayer for rain ( Hebrew גֶּשֶׁם Geschem ), and the request for rain is added from that day until the first day of the Passover feast - the winter season of the winter season in Israel - at the beginning of the eighteen prayer prayer . Unless one of the interim days of Sukkot falls on a sabbath , the book of Kohelet is read to Schmini Azeret. Moreover, according to the Ashkenazic rite, the prayer, which is only spoken four times a year, is a reminder of the deceased, \"Jiskor\" or \"soul memory\" ( Hebrew הַזְכָּרַת נְשָׁמוֹת Haskarat Neschamot ), prayed.
