Sukkot









Though the holiday is nearly at an end, Jerusalem and the whole country continues to feel celebratory. All across the city little huts with bamboo roofs have been built. It's Sukkot. It's awesome.

Here's a series of photos. Searching for the right Etrog. And then as we headed up into the northern regions, some food, and explorations. Finally, shaking the Lulav and Etrog in a crazy place named Arbel, where, according to the Talmud, redemption will begin.
