Peace Under the Sukkah: Volunteers Host Open Dialogues for the Holidays
In a time of deep divisions, Israelis come together in sukkahs, fostering discussions that underline the importance of national unity
By Aaron Poris/The Media Line
On a quiet street in North Tel Aviv, a trickle of people began streaming into a small but comfortably furnished hut, called a sukkah in Hebrew. The group comprised young and old, socially active and passive, and left-wing and right-wing individuals, who all took their places in a circle. After introducing themselves, they began sharing their ideas, ideals, fears, and hopes for the future.
Such gatherings recently took place all over the country, representing an increasingly rare moment of understanding that no matter one’s politics, the nation must stay united.
