[tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/B/booth/#m4) ### sense in the lessons In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Here a booth is a rough shelter made from branches, used by herders and in the Feast of Booths. Later books also use it for a watchman's hut, a temporary shelter in a field, or a tent where kings feasted. Interpretation: Tradition calls it a sukkah, and Jews live in one for seven days at the festival of Sukkot. It recalls the shelters of the years in the wilderness and God's care. Isaiah compares Jerusalem to a lonely booth in a vineyard, and Job compares the wicked man's house to a flimsy booth, both pictures of weakness. In the primary lessons: In everyday life: photo booth, ticket booth, phone booth, voting booth, toll booth. At school fairs, booths sell cakes or games. In maths problems, a booth might sell tickets or snacks. ### examples - And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him a house, and made booths for his cattle.
