“I invite all Israelis, from infants to age 100 to visit Yerushalayim and to come to my sukka,” stated President Shimon Peres, whose official sukka is open to the public on yomtov.

Mr. Peres will carry on tradition and he will open his sukka to visitors on Thursday morning, 9:00AM-12:00PM.

A decision was made to expand the yomtov event and this year, there will be exhibits showing Israel’s progress in the areas of space, agriculture, tourism and the environment.
