Israel Prepares for Sukkot Holiday with Sukkah Building and Ritual Plant Selection
As evening falls on September 25th, Israelis begin observing Sukkot, a major Jewish festival. The holiday, which lasts for seven days, commences on the 15th of the Hebrew month of Tishrei and will conclude on October 4th this year. Preparations for Sukkot involve the construction of "sukkahs," temporary dwellings, and the careful selection of the "arba minim," or four species. These include a palm branch (lulav), two willow branches (aravot), three myrtle branches (hadas), and a citron fruit (etrog). The article is accompanied by a photo report illustrating these preparations.
