Annual Sukkot Parade (of our non-Jewish friends)

October 12, 2006 - 3:49 PM by

Thousands of years ago, back when the Jewish Temple stood on the Temple Mount, its doors were thrown open on the first day of Sukkot so that any non-Jew who wished to worship there could do so.

Today, the tradition continues, with an annual parade of non-Jewish supporters of Israel during the intermediary days of Sukkot.

Dan Sieradski was there with his camera. His complete album of the parade, replete with beautiful photos (and snarky comments, and a snarkier soundrack) is here.

A taste:

parade-brazilians
The Brazilian contingent

parade- philippines
Our friends from the Philippines

parade- christians

One of many Christian Zionist groups

parade-postal
Um, I think, based on Dan’s caption, that this is a group from Israel’s Postal Service workers. Not positive though.

Happy Holidays. :-)
