US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman wished Jews a happy Sukkot ahead of the holiday, which begins this evening.
“To all those observing Sukkot, we wish you a joyous holiday. After the intensity of the High Holidays, what a blessing to gather at a festival earmarked for happiness and celebration,” the ambassador wrote on Twitter.
“Thanks to Kfar Chabad, this was the first year I cut an etrog from the tree. Chag Sameach!” he added.
