Sukkot in Jerusalem

Sarah and I took the little kids and met up with Glenn and Nolan in Jerusalem for Sukkot. We took a bus from Tiberias early in the morning and found our way to Beit Sh’muel Hostel. It was only minutes from the Jaffa Gate entrance to the Old City. We met our Landlords, Leah and Gershom for lunch and they toured us around the Old City. Elijah warmed right up to Gershom and they became buddies. It’s nice to go with people who know so much and can explain what’s what. Such wonderful hosts! I’m sure they know everyone in Israel!

We met up with our dear friends, Blair and Linda Wetmore. We had so much fun with them. We toured around the Old City, prayed at the wall, had lunch with our Israeli wine, and danced in the streets! That evening, we went to the Tower of David Museum - Night Spectacular which was another highlight of our journey.

Sarah and Nolan particularly loved Ben Yehuda Street. There are lots of shops and restaurants along the way. No shortage of shawarma’s and falafels there! Lots of street entertainment and sukka’s everywhere.
