*Erev Sukkot *Gelt* (Charity Money)*: Kabbalistic texts state that one should increase charitable giving on the eve of the Sukkot, indeed, righteous figures used to distribute all their charity funds to the poor on this day. It is taught that distributing money to the needy specifically on Erev Sukkot is particularly appropriate given the festival's designation as the "Time of Our Rejoicing."
