What is the reason for the festivals of sukkot and pesach lasting seven days.
Is there a significance/reason to the number seven here?
Answer
"Shabbatot and yomim tovim were given just for the study of Torah" (Talmud Yerushalmi Shabbos 15:3
hence it is a kind of vacation/sabbatical for torah study.
one day would not be much of a vacation.
