=== ''Simchat Beit HaShoevah'' water-drawing celebration ===
{{Main|Simchat Beit HaShoeivah}}

During the intermediate days of Sukkot, gatherings of music and dance, known as ''[[Simchat Beit HaShoeivah]]'' (Celebration of the Place of Water-Drawing), take place. This commemorates the celebration that accompanied the drawing of the water for the water-libation on the Altar, an offering unique to Sukkot, when water was carried up the [[Jerusalem pilgrim road]] from the [[Pool of Siloam]] to the [[Temple in Jerusalem]].<ref name="shoeva">{{cite web |last=Prero |first=Rabbi Yehudah |title=Simchas Bais HaShoeva – A Happiness of Oneness |url=https://torah.org/learning/yomtov-sukkos-vol3no21/ |website=Torah.org |date=4 April 2016 |access-date=29 September 2019}}</ref>
