Israel has been celebrating the Feast of Tabernacles or Sukkot. They build booths and for one week eat meals in them and some sleep in them. This is to remember when they lived in the wilderness. It is a joyful time with singing and many group activities are planned.
This is a really big fancy Sukkot at the Western Wall in Jerusalem
This Sukkot had very fancy carvings on the outside.
It even had nice pictures on the wall inside.
Somebody really important got out of this car and went down to the Western Wall to pray.
I prayed at the wall too!
The Jewish men go to the Western Wall and wave 3 kinds of trees tied together. 
These men have their three types of tree branches in their hands to wave while they are praying.
This is the other really big fancy Sukkot near the Western Wall.
This Sukkot is on the roof of a house and is smaller. But it is not the smallest Sukkot that I saw.
There are even booths at restaurants.
Like this one
Another one on the roof of a house.
We had a great sandwich for lunch called a Shwarma. Yummmmy!!!
We also went to a really cool parade. This is one of the really big celebrations during the Feast of Tabernacles. There were over 75,000 people marching in the parade.
People come from all over the world to march in this parade and say to Israel; "We Love You!"
Blowing the Shofar in the parade.
I really liked this group! Do you see the American Flag?
These guys were really cool. They were on stilts like at Disney World and they were doing flips! The crowd really screamed when they did that!
I really liked the flags and banners and there were hundreds of them!
I really enjoyed the parade
I love Israel and I hope that we will always be their friend!
