In Kishinev, the days of Sukkot were celebrated in the prayer hall of the synagogue. A large crowd of students among many people attended festive prayers and the reading and dancing of the Torah.
Given that a sukkah is not a permanent structure, it doesn’t offer much protection from the rain. However, despite a heavy rainstorm, many people participated in the Kiddush and meals in the Sukkah built near the Kishinev synagogue, and few other around the city.
Throughout the intermediate days of the festival, the Jewish Community of Kishinev offered a lively program, for the community’s students, children and adults.
Many people attended the Sukkah. They listened to a talk by Chief Rabbi of Kishinev & Moldova, Zalman Abelsky. Reciting the blessing over the lulav, etrog, singing songs. The joy was palpable as it should be as Sukkot is the most joyous among Jewish holidays!
