An Ultra-Orthodox Jew Examines A Mytrle Branch For Sukkot In Jerusalem

An Ultra-Orthodox Jew examines a myrtle branch, one of the four species used during the week-long Jewish festival of Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles, in Mea Shearim, Jerusalem, Israel, October 1, 2017. The Sukkot holiday begins at sunset on Wednesday, October 4, and commemorates the Jews exodus from Egypt some 3,200 years ago. Jews build sukkahs, temporary huts, to eat and sleep in during the holiday. Photo by Debbie Hill/UPI
