Sukkot in Israel #1

I wanted to share a few pics I took during Sukkot in Israel. Since apparently I can only post 5 pics per blog this will be done in sections. The following were taken around Jerusalem.

This is the inside of the sukkah at the King David Hotel (I wasn't allowed in, so this was as close as I could get)



This is just a normal yard, complete with several family sukkahs. For those who have not been in Israel during this time of year, these sukkahs are all over the place, including at most of the restaurants in the city

This is from the ultra-Orthodox neighborhood of Mea Sherim. I like it because you can see all the little balcony sukkahs.

This is from the Kotel (Western Wall). This guy was weeping and crying out while he held the lulov and etrog. I was tempted to remind him that this is supposed to be "z'man simchateinu" (the time of our rejoicing), but decided to let him do his thing.

Three little Ortho-kids from Mea Sherim. Check out the awesome peyous (side-curls) they are sporting (something to aspire to Sruli!)
So that is a sampling of my pics from Jerusalem. For those of you who are on the facebook I am going to post more pics there. Otherwise, I will figure out how to send out some more to those who are interested. Stay tuned for Sukkot in Israel #2: Scott goes north. much love all!!
