Shemini Atzeret begins tonight at sundown. In Israel and in some American Reform Judaism communities, this is also Simchat Torah. This is a full-festival day (restrictions similar to Shabbat) and is literally the "eighth day of assembly", following the seven days of Sukkot. For more, see: http://www.jewfaq.org/holiday6.htm Work is prohibited on the first day and on Shemini Atzeret.
