On Behalf of the 70 Nations
On Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles, Israel prays and offers sacrifices on behalf of the 70 nations of the world. In the end of days, the righteous from among the nations will make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Today, the Parade of Nations in Yerushalayim on Sukkot fulfills these moving words of Zechariah. This year, Sukkotstarts on the evening of Sept. 23. You can learn more about this holiday and all Jewish holidays in Israel365's NEW 16-month calendar and Jewish holiday guide.
