Jerusalem's Mea Shearim Neighborhood Celebrates Sukkot Amidst Prayers

Residents of Jerusalem's Mea Shearim neighborhood observed the intermediate days of the Sukkot holiday on Sunday, participating in morning prayers while holding the "Four Species." The "Four Species" are symbolic plants used in Jewish religious observances during Sukkot: the etrog (citron), the lulav (palm branch), the hadas (myrtle), and the arava (willow).

Photographs captured worshippers clad in prayer shawls, clutching the Four Species as they engaged in the "Shacharit" (morning prayer) service. The images depict the traditional atmosphere of the holiday within the ultra-Orthodox neighborhood.
