Thousands Pray at Jerusalem's Temple Mount Entrance for Sukkot

Thousands of Orthodox Jews gathered at the Cotton Gate, one of the entrances to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, on Thursday morning for the Sukkot festival prayers. Participants, wrapped in prayer shawls and holding the "Four Species" (lulav and etrog), congregated for a festive morning prayer service. Following the prayers, a procession circled the gates of the Temple Mount in a large, religiously observant gathering.

The event, which took place near the Temple Mount, saw a significant turnout of worshippers for the holiday observance.
