Atzeret - עֲצֶרֶת
Pronunciation: A⋅tze⋅ret
Literal translation: Rally, assembly
The last day of Sukkot is called Simhat Torah here in Israel, but in the Tanah, it is referred to as Shemini Atzeret. If you are currently outside of Israel, you are probably keeping them both on separate days, but here in Israel, we celebrate them together on the same day.
