From Peki'in to Mount Meron: This is how the holy places are preparing to receive travelers on Sukkot

Going on a trip to the north during the holidays? The Ministry of Religious Services, in cooperation with the National Center for the Development of Holy Places, completed the construction of large and magnificent Sukkot near the main pilgrimage centers in the north and in Jerusalem, in preparation for the wave of thousands expected to visit the holy sites during the weekdays of Sukkot.

The construction of the Sukkot, which is part of an overall effort to enrich the visiting experience, is intended to allow every visitor - families and individuals - to fulfill the mitzvah of sitting in the Sukkah with comfort and respect, even when they are far from home.

The Sukkot were erected to high standards and are intended to serve as a public 'holiday table' for all who come.

Director General of the Ministry of Religious Services, Yehuda Avidan: "The establishment of Sukkot at the holy sites is intended to assist the general public who are going on a trip to the north or visiting Jerusalem on Chol HaMoed, so that they can fulfill the mitzvah of sitting in the Sukkah as it should be, comfortably and without worries. It is a great pride for us to provide an appropriate response to the thousands who visit the holiest places for the people of Israel.""

Acting Director General of the National Center for the Development of Holy Places, Israel Deri: "We are prepared to receive tens of thousands of visitors to the holy sites. The National Center works around the clock to ensure that the sites are clean, accessible, and adapted to the best spiritual and family experience. The Sukkots we have erected are a response to a basic and very important need for the general public, who are careful to observe the mitzvot. We invite the entire House of Israel to come, enjoy the special atmosphere and observe the mitzvot of the holiday, to pray, and to petition the community and the individual.""
