Definitions and meanings of "Sukkah"

What do we mean by sukkah?

A temporary dwelling or booth used by practising Jews during Tabernacles (Sukkot).

An ancient Persian game combining elements of checkers and chess. Uses board of checkers/chess and checkers pieces. Set-up is like checkers, except each player sets up pieces on opposite-colored spaces. Regular moves are made diagonally like in regular checkers. Capturing is done by moving one's piece in a straight line two spaces in which there is an opponent's piece in the space between. Pieces that are not queens or kings can only capture by moving forward. A piece that reaches the opposite end does not become a king. It becomes a queen, and it can move diagnolly (without capturing) a single space in any direction, and it can capture by moving either forward or laterally. A queen that returns to the player's own end safely becomes a king. A king can move diagnolly any number of spaces in a single direction on a single move (without capturing), and can capture by moving in any direction. All types of pieces may capture multiple opponent's pieces on a single move if possible given their abilities described above. Winner is last player with a legal move. Urban Dictionary

Being flogged with a lulav by a Rabbi until your ass bleeds, then having the etrog juice poured into the wound. Urban Dictionary
