Hi Everyone!
Sukkot is the Jewish holiday that commemorates how protective
"Clouds of Glory" surrounded the Jewish people after leaving
Egypt during the forty years of wandering in the desert.
It also commemorates how the Jews lived in temporary dwellings
during that same time.
The Jerusalem Municipality, together with the Israel Electric Company,
built the ''Sukkah of Light'', the biggest and most lit sukkah in the
world. It is 30 meters long, 16 meters wide and 6 meters high, a total
of 480 squared meters. It is made of aluminum profiles that support
the walls, and includes 4 kilometers of light wiring in rubber tubes
with 144,000 mini light bulbs in them.
The sukkah is located in Safra Square in Jerusalem, Israel.
On October 5, Tuesday evening, I visited the sukkah and
took 62 pictures of the sukkah.
I posted the pictures on my website at:
