Jews Flock to Markets for Sukkot Rituals in Jerusalem and Bnei Brak
In anticipation of the Sukkot holiday, Jewish communities in Jerusalem and Bnei Brak are actively purchasing the "Four Species" (Arba'at HaMinim) required for the festival's rituals. Crowds have been observed at sales booths, selecting lulavs (palm branches), etrogs (citrons), and myrtle branches.
The article highlights the vibrant atmosphere at these markets, particularly in the predominantly Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) neighborhoods, as people prepare for the upcoming holiday. The "Four Species" are central to the Sukkot observance, where they are held together and waved during specific prayers.
