It's not one of the more widely-observed Jewish holidays, but many are marking it this week. Queens Reporter Ruschell Boone has more on this outdoor celebration and the businesses that are popping up as a result.

Sukkahs are temporary huts for observant Jews to dine and sometimes sleep in during the celebration of Sukkot.

With the holiday quickly approaching, one pop-up shop is seeing a steady stream of customers.

"We have sold something like 150 Sukkahs, even more, I think we broke our own record," said Leo Levine, a Sukkah Depot employee.

Sukkah Depot is an international brick and mortar business, but it's following the trend of creating pop-up shops.

As the holiday draws near, the shops suddenly appeared across Brooklyn and Queens.

"Ours is at the Jewish Heritage Center and they just let us use it as a pop-up store," Levine said. "Others use garages, warehouses all sorts of whatever comes to mind."

The Sukkahs recall the fragile shelters used by the ancient Israelites as they wandered in the desert after leaving Egypt.

There was a time when Jewish families made them from scratch.

Now, special kits containing all the materials needed can be bought starting around $400.

The pop up stores are popular because of their convenience.

The kits are already out of the warehouse.

"They can literally walk in and see what it's going to like to sit in them during the holiday," Levine said. "See if their dinner table is going to fit in there cause at the end of the day that's what you do you sit in there and you have dinner with your family."

The pre-packaged Sukkahs are typically made of made of wood and canvas and bamboo for the roof, and can be assembled without a hammer or nails.

The Depot is one of two pop-up Sukkah shops on Main Street in this heavily Jewish section of Flushing.

"Mine is up already. I just came to get a part that I needed," said one Sukkah Depot customer.

Around the corner from the store, the sounds of Sukkah construction is in the air.

Isak Ashurov is rushing to decorate his before the start of the holiday at sundown Wednesday.

"My family is coming," Ashurov said.

Many of his neighbors are already prepared.

"I'm excited. Really excited. It's great to have the whole family together," said Ashurov's neighbor. "We haven't been together in a while. We will have a lot of meals in the Sukkah together."

These pop-up shops will be gone by the time the holiday starts on Wednesday.

The festivities will last a week and at the end of it, the huts will be gone too.
