Today, October 1st, with the sunset, Yom Kippur begins — the holiest and most important Jewish holiday.

Sukkot — one of the most vivid Jewish holidays — carries a unique tradition related to four plants, known as “arbaa minim”.

Department for the Promotion of Aliya co-organized the event where thousands of people in New York City’s Times Square viewed an empty Shabbat table set for 224 people, symbolizing the 224 hostages held captive by the terrorist group Hamas.
