Hoshana Rabbah is a Jewish holiday that falls on the seventh day of the festival of Sukkot. It is a time of special prayers and rituals, where worshippers gather in synagogues or outdoors with willow branches and recite special prayers known as Hoshanot. The name “Hoshana Rabbah” means “Great Salvation”, highlighting the significance of this day as the final opportunity for repentance and seeking divine forgiveness before the closing of the High Holy Days. It is customary to beat the willow branches on the ground, symbolizing the casting away of sins.
