  • Event drew prominent rabbis, judges, and public figures.
  • Festivities included singing and dancing for hours.
  • City officials also attended the religious gathering.

A large Sukkot celebration, known as Simchat Beit HaShoeva, was held at the 'Halichot Moshe' Great Synagogue in the Ramat Aaron neighborhood of Bnei Brak. The event, led by Rabbi Shavtai Levi, drew large crowds of worshippers, rabbis, judges, and public figures.

The festivities lasted for many hours, with attendees singing and dancing in honor of the holiday and the Torah. Among the distinguished guests were leading rabbis and yeshiva deans, including Rabbi Shlomo Machfud, a member of the Council of Torah Sages; Rabbi David Yosef, the former Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Israel; and Rabbi Nissim Ben Shimon.

Also present were Rabbi Masoud Ben Shimon, the chief rabbi of Bnei Brak; Rabbi A.Z. Zuta, rabbi of the Sofrim neighborhood; and prominent judges such as Rabbi Aviran Halevi, Rabbi Shlosh, and Rabbi Yaron Navon.

City officials also participated, including Deputy Mayors of Bnei Brak Shlomo Elharar and Eliyahu Shoshan, and the chairman of the workers' committee, Nehemia Shakadi. The event was described as a joyous occasion celebrating the holiday.
