The Ushpizin are the seven hidden hosts who, according to Jewish lore, visit each succah during the seven-day festival. This refers to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Aaron and David. The origin of this visitation can be found in a verse of Zohar,

"When a person is seated in his succah, Abraham and six distinguished visitors partake of his company."
(Zohar 5:103b)

Each in turn ushers the others into the succah during the subsequent days of the holiday.

The custom prescribes that every evening the attending host be approached with a different request:

"May it be Your will, my G-d and the G-d of our forefathers that the Divine presence rest upon us...I hereby invite our most valued hosts, Abraham...."
