Shalom! We are in the happy week of Sukkot.
Here is a new Israeli stamp for the holiday.
The man in the tallit is holding the four species, including the yellow etrog.
In the big Sukkot stained glass window at the Renanim Synagogue in Hechal Shlomo you can see the etrog on top in its fancy protective container.
Below is the sukkah, in which Jews are supposed to "dwell" (or at least eat) for the whole week.
It's even prettier when you enlarge the photo.

Chag sameach, happy holiday!

September is not reliable enough to sleep outside in the southern hemisphere, so we eat outside and sleep inside. Still, the decorations are very beautiful, done by the grandchildren :)

ReplyDeleteI took a couple of pictures of a sukkah in Campo del Ghetto Nuovo (Square of the New Ghetto) here in Venice...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful window.
ReplyDeleteInterssting - I've never seen a citron here at the grocery store. I didn't realize that there were different varieties too, one of which is the strange looking "Buddha's hand" :)
Chag sameach, happy holiday!I remember that you were taking photos on the market where everybody was buying the four species. They didn't notice you although you were the only female and dressed in jeans and a t-shirt! That was in 2009.You were very brave.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous window. I have studied it for a while and I see something different in every pane. Have a wonderful holiday.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful stained-glass window.
ReplyDeleteAnd now I know what an etrog is. ;-)
Beautiful! Hope you had a great holiday :)
ReplyDeleteI see so many sukkahs around Skokie. I even saw a mobile sukkah. Now that was interesting.
