Shemini Atzeret is a Jewish holiday celebrated on the 22nd day of the Hebrew month, Tishri. It is a holiday in which work is not permitted.
Judaism 101 explains the holiday thus:
"Shemini Atzeret means "the assembly of the eighth (day)." Rabbinic literature explains the holiday this way: our Creator is like a host, who invites us as visitors for a limited time, but when the time comes for us to leave, He has enjoyed himself so much that He asks us to stay another day.
Another related explanation: Sukkot is a holiday intended for all of mankind, but when Sukkot is over, the Creator invites the Jewish people to stay for an extra day, for a more intimate celebration."
