This year’s theme for the Central Jerusalem Sukka in City Hall Plaza is a green [environmental awareness] sukka, which officials report occupies a 1,000 square meter area.

The sukka is intended to increase environmental awareness, and towards achieving the goal, workshops will be held for children and adults during Chol Hamoed. Sukka decorations made from recycled materials will be among the workshops, as well as a film and activities to promote human energy such as bicycles as opposed to motor-driven devices.
