{{Main|Shemini Atzeret|Simchat Torah}}

The holiday immediately following Sukkot is known as ''Shemini Atzeret'' ({{abbr|lit.|literally}} "Eighth [Day] of Assembly"). Shemini Atzeret is usually viewed as a separate holiday.<ref>See ''[[Rosh Hashanah (Talmud)|Rosh Hashanah]]'' 4b for rare cases where it is viewed as part of the Sukkot holiday.</ref> In the [[Diaspora]] a second additional holiday, ''Simchat Torah'' ("Joy of the Torah"), is celebrated. In the Land of Israel, Simchat Torah is celebrated on Shemini Atzeret. On Shemini Atzeret people leave their sukkah and eat their meals inside the house. Outside the Land of Israel, many eat in the sukkah without making the blessing. The sukkah is not used on Simchat Torah.<ref>{{cite web |title=A Deeper Look at Shemini Atzeret / Simchat Torah |url=https://www.chabad.org/holidays/JewishNewYear/template_cdo/aid/1288162/jewish/A-Deeper-Look-at-Shemini-Atzeret-Simchat-Torah.htm |website=Chabad.org |access-date=29 September 2019}}</ref>
