A festival offering or celebration in Jewish tradition, particularly relating to the three pilgrimage festivals.
From Hebrew 'חגיגה' (chagigah), derived from 'חג' (chag) meaning 'festival' or 'holiday.' In Jewish religious law, chagigah refers to festive offerings brought during Passover, Shavuot, and Sukkot.
Chagigah is not just a meal but a religiously mandated festive offering in Jewish law, and the Talmud spends enormous effort debating how much of it you need to bring and to whom—showing how even 'festivals' had serious legal requirements.
