Religious Zionist Rabbis Gather for Annual Sukkot Celebration in Jerusalem
Hundreds of rabbis and thousands of participants from across Israel convened at the Jerusalem International Convention Center for the "Hakabalat Panai Rabo" (Welcoming the Face of the Teacher) event, a central gathering for Religious Zionist rabbis during the intermediate days of Sukkot. The event, now in its 13th year, featured Torah study, singing, and holiday joy.
Organized by "Rabbanei Derech Eretz" in cooperation with the Jerusalem Municipality and the Ministry of Settlement, the gathering has become a significant tradition for the Religious Zionist community during Sukkot.
The evening began with inspirational gatherings led by Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu, Rabbi Avihu Schwartz, Rabbi Dudi Dudkovitz, and Rabbi Chananel Etrog, with Rabbi Eyal Yaakovovitz serving as the moderator. The main ceremony included prominent Religious Zionist rabbis, accompanied by singer Naftali Kempa and the "Ohlela" band led by Yididya Klein.
A spokesperson for "Rabbanei Derech Eretz" stated that the event honors Torah and powerfully expresses the unity and deep connection between all segments of the public and their rabbis during the peak of the holiday's joy.
