Sukkah-riah

The Jerusalem Municipality is calling it a Sukkah-riah (su'ka'ria is a candy in Hebrew).

The hype said it was a Sukkah made out of 2 tons of candy. A dentist’s delight. Personally I wondered what would happen if it rained.

The reality at Kikar Safra (the Jerusalem Municipality) was somewhat less overstated.

It was more along the lines of a large Sukkah built out of normal materials, decorated quite nicely, and where they are giving away some 2 tons of candy inside (while outside are some very long lines pushing to get in at get at the free candy).

Lions, Tigers, and Bears (Oh My)

I didn't see tigers, but there were plenty of bears and lions in Kikar Safra, headquarters for the Jerusalem Municipality.

Spread throughout the square were bears, painted by different artists, each representing a different country. The exhibit is part of a worldwide tour to promote understanding between the nations.
