Jerusalem, Israel – what is really happening
Sukkot is always a busy time on Jerusalem, Israel streets,
and in our house and sukkah!
But no matter how you spell it in English,
the buses sum it up the best..
Moedim l’Simcha,
whatever is going on around the region and world,
it is holiday time,
so enjoy the season.
Some people have been saying since June,
“after the Chagim,” after the holidays,
that time when everyone finally gets back to work next week.
Meanwhile,
now it is time to go for that tiyul and join the crowds.
Moedim l’simcha!
For the Sukkot holiday in Jerusalem, Israel,
thousands of small sukkot are on balconies,
however, some people really do move out of the house
and into their sukkah to eat and sleep.
Not everyone will see a sukkah on a camel,
but the buses will again be full and in holiday mode.
!חג שמח
Chag sameach!
Happy holidays to all!
The official memorial for those fallen in
the Yom Kippur War 40 years ago
is being broadcast live on the radio.
This photo was taken at a private ceremony,
the young man was speaking in honor of his grandfather.
I think it is fitting image to remember those fallen during the Yom Kippur War
even though the grandfather was not directly involved.
Also, on this 20th anniversary of Oslo Accord
to remember how many of Israel’s best have died.
But, there is little time for sadness,
Sukkot is coming.
All around Jerusalem, Israel, preparations have begun.
Look up on balconies,
around in backyards,
in front gardens,
and on top of cars;
there are signs of the Sukkot holiday.
After Yom Kippur,
it is a busy time getting ready for more holidays.
Schools are out,
a good time for grandparents to give a helping hand.
