Yom Teruah and Yom Kippur have come and gone.

The Feast of Tabernacles begins the second day of this week on the Biblical calendar, the fifteenth day of the seventh month (according to scripture).

See: The Israel Bible: Leviticus 23:33-44.

See: The Israel Bible: Numbers 29:12-39.

Leviticus 23:33-44 NASB - 33 Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 34 "Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'On the fifteenth of this seventh month is the Feast of Booths for seven days to the LORD. 35 'On the first day is a holy convocation; you shall do no laborious work of any kind. 36 'For seven days you shall present an offering by fire to the LORD. On the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation and present an offering by fire to the LORD; it is an assembly. You shall do no laborious work. 37 'These are the appointed times of the LORD which you shall proclaim as holy convocations, to present offerings by fire to the LORD--burnt offerings and grain offerings, sacrifices and drink offerings, each day's matter on its own day-- 38 besides those of the sabbaths of the LORD, and besides your gifts and besides all your votive and freewill offerings, which you give to the LORD. 39 'On exactly the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the crops of the land, you shall celebrate the feast of the LORD for seven days, with a rest on the first day and a rest on the eighth day. 40 'Now on the first day you shall take for yourselves the foliage of beautiful trees, palm branches and boughs of leafy trees and willows of the brook, and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God for seven days. 41 'You shall thus celebrate it as a feast to the LORD for seven days in the year. It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations; you shall celebrate it in the seventh month. 42 'You shall live in booths for seven days; all the native-born in Israel shall live in booths, 43 so that your generations may know that I had the sons of Israel live in booths when I brought them out from the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.'" 44 So Moses declared to the sons of Israel the appointed times of the LORD.

Numbers 29:12-40 NASB - 12 'Then on the fifteenth day of the seventh month you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no laborious work, and you shall observe a feast to the LORD for seven days. 13 'You shall present a burnt offering, an offering by fire as a soothing aroma to the LORD: thirteen bulls, two rams, fourteen male lambs one year old, which are without defect; 14 and their grain offering, fine flour mixed with oil: three-tenths of an ephah for each of the thirteen bulls, two-tenths for each of the two rams, 15 and a tenth for each of the fourteen lambs; 16 and one male goat for a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering, its grain offering and its drink offering. 17 'Then on the second day: twelve bulls, two rams, fourteen male lambs one year old without defect; 18 and their grain offering and their drink offerings for the bulls, for the rams and for the lambs, by their number according to the ordinance; 19 and one male goat for a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering and its grain offering, and their drink offerings. 20 'Then on the third day: eleven bulls, two rams, fourteen male lambs one year old without defect; 21 and their grain offering and their drink offerings for the bulls, for the rams and for the lambs, by their number according to the ordinance; 22 and one male goat for a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering and its grain offering and its drink offering. 23 'Then on the fourth day: ten bulls, two rams, fourteen male lambs one year old without defect; 24 their grain offering and their drink offerings for the bulls, for the rams and for the lambs, by their number according to the ordinance; 25 and one male goat for a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering, its grain offering and its drink offering. 26 'Then on the fifth day: nine bulls, two rams, fourteen male lambs one year old without defect; 27 and their grain offering and their drink offerings for the bulls, for the rams and for the lambs, by their number according to the ordinance; 28 and one male goat for a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering and its grain offering and its drink offering. 29 'Then on the sixth day: eight bulls, two rams, fourteen male lambs one year old without defect; 30 and their grain offering and their drink offerings for the bulls, for the rams and for the lambs, by their number according to the ordinance; 31 and one male goat for a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering, its grain offering and its drink offerings. 32 'Then on the seventh day: seven bulls, two rams, fourteen male lambs one year old without defect; 33 and their grain offering and their drink offerings for the bulls, for the rams and for the lambs, by their number according to the ordinance; 34 and one male goat for a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering, its grain offering and its drink offering. 35 'On the eighth day you shall have a solemn assembly; you shall do no laborious work. 36 'But you shall present a burnt offering, an offering by fire, as a soothing aroma to the LORD: one bull, one ram, seven male lambs one year old without defect; 37 their grain offering and their drink offerings for the bull, for the ram and for the lambs, by their number according to the ordinance; 38 and one male goat for a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering and its grain offering and its drink offering. 39 'You shall present these to the LORD at your appointed times, besides your votive offerings and your freewill offerings, for your burnt offerings and for your grain offerings and for your drink offerings and for your peace offerings.'" 40 Moses spoke to the sons of Israel in accordance with all that the LORD had commanded Moses.

And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations [Gentiles] which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King [Messiah], the LORD of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. - Zechariah 14:16

Where is your sukkot? It's supposed to be a remembrance for God delivering Israel out of Egypt. You will need lambs, rams, bulls, goats, palm branches, boughs from leafy trees, burnt offerings, drink offerings, sin offerings, votive offerings, grain offerings, freewill offerings, peace offerings, willows from the brook, a solemn assembly with all the nation of Israel ... in the place where God chose .. and that is in Jerusalem .... for 7 days and nights .... in order to keep the commandments of God concerning this feast.

The Feast of Tabernacles is not for Christians.
I don't know why you would say that. Do you know if you are correct? Have you researched this to see if what you think and believe is correct? How have you come to this your conclusion?

How have you come to this your conclusion?

Scripture.

Leviticus 23:42-43 You shall dwell in booths for seven days. All who are native Israelites shall dwell in booths, that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am YHVH (the LORD) your God.​

I don't believe you are a native of the Israel of Jacob and I don't believe Christ brought your ancestors out of Egypt. That's what I don't believe.

I am a convert or proselyte. I observe Torah, Judaism, while remaining a Christian. Yeshua is the Messiah. Jesus is the Christ means the same thing.

I am a United States Citizen. I am circumcised. I am a Jew by conversion. I am of Israel. I have never been to Israel.

Which means you are not a native born son of Jacob.

YHVH gave specific instructions for observing the Feast and you are not in compliance.
You are correct that I am not native born. As a convert to Judaism I was obviously not born a Jew.

We observe the feast at the congregation I attend here in the United States of America. I have not been to Israel, observed in Israel, and my understanding is that there is currently no temple in Jerusalem in Israel.

Some are born Jews, in the land or otherwise. Some people live in the land and observe the law of the land of Israel, whether sojourner or native born. Some people come (or rather go) to Israel to observe the feast, whether Jew or otherwise. A Jew is of Israel. There are commands that are observed in the land that are not observed outside of the land. But we are to observe all of God's commands that are for us.

Begin with Torah. Or understand God's commands for you as one who observes the Sabbath, whether you think of this as being a convert or you know yourself to be a foreigner or sojourner, (see Isaiah 56 NASB) or the essentials in having become a believer from among the Gentiles (see Acts 15 NASB).

Enjoy the Feast! The first day is a holy day, in which no work is to be done. I encourage you to read about the feast if you do not already know about it. It sounds like you have at least heard something. Shalom!

A good case could be made that Yeshua was born on the Feast of Tabernacles.
Each feast is extremely meaningful as well as prophetic.

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,
Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall
proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.

- Leviticus 23:2
