A large tree collapsed onto a central sukkah in Bnei Brak on Hoshana Rabbah, causing significant damage but no injuries. The incident occurred shortly after a traditional "tish" ceremony, attended by a Rebbe and hundreds of Hasidim, concluded. According to witnesses, the tree fell just minutes after the gathering dispersed and the area emptied.
Emergency services arrived at the scene to assess the damage and confirm that no one was harmed by the falling tree. The sukkah, a temporary structure used during the Sukkot holiday, sustained considerable physical damage to its roof and frame. The collapse happened in the heart of Bnei Brak, a city known for its large Hasidic population, just before the holiday of Simchat Torah began.
