Jerusalem Feast of Tabernacles in Old City Traditions
Autumn sun lights Jerusalem as Jewish colonies near ancient walls celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles. Scrolls of the law are auctioned for synagogue support, while families erect sukkas with green reeds, lamps, and curtains. Betsrothal ceremonies unfold under rustic canopies as women dress in fine garments, and the week blends prayer, feasting, and festive dances. The holiday recalls past wanderings and thanks God for preservation, even as Turks restrict access to sacred sites.
