Frequently Asked Questions About Shmini Atzeret Prayers
Shmini Atzeret is a separate holiday from Sukkot, even though it follows immediately after. We no longer sit in the sukkah (in Israel) or wave the Four Species. The holiday has its own unique kiddush, and we recite Yizkor and the prayer for rain (Tefilat Geshem).
In Israel, Shmini Atzeret and Simchat Torah are combined on a single day (22nd of Tishrei). In the diaspora, Shmini Atzeret is observed on the 22nd and Simchat Torah on the 23rd as separate days.
