Are miracles waiting to be found Like former strangers sharing Times of caring silence and exalted sound. Or places in which terror Is the reality of life Becoming lands for little children Playing without strife. No Israeli will ever forget what happened in 1973, when the solemn peace of this most special day was shattered by Egyptian and Syrian armies launching a surprise attack. From then on, Israelis have always associated Yom Kippur not only with a holiday, but with war. The uniqueness of the Festival of Succot is that it's the one celebration of the year which is clearly visible on the streets, in courtyards, on porches, balconies, and even on the roof of houses.
Competition is high.
Some families manage to keep their original family succah and even its decorations in tact, handing down to their children, and their children's children, not only the pieces to be reconstructed but even decorations - childhood drawings, photos and family lore. Here one often finds preserved walls of plywood and wood planks to connect them. Today, we can find available metal poles that are connected with prefab chains to which sheets are stretched to create the three walls. Some families leave up the beams all year round, and others have enclosed porches with roofs that open. All this means a faster more convenient succah right in the comfort of your own home.
