Ebullient
Ebullient means overflowing with fervor, enthusiasm, or excitement; high-spirited.
During the Feast of Tabernacles (Hebrew: סוכות or סֻכּוֹת, sukkōt), the third of three major feasts outlined in Leviticus 23, the Israelites were to be ebullient for an entire week.
'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.' (Leviticus 23:40, NASB)
This painting by contemporary Israeli artist Yoram Raanan, based upon Leviticus 23:40, is titled "Sukkoth bet knesset".
