Building a sukkah
After Yom Kippur ends, Israelis begin construction of their sukkah
Upon recovering from the fast, Jews across the country prepare for Sukkot by erecting their sukkah and buying the four species.
After recovering from the Yom Kippur fast, Jews all across Israel began building their sukkot on Wednesday night ahead of the upcoming holiday that starts on Sunday night.
Some Ynet's readers have sent us photos of them hard at work with their families building the sukkah. Show off your sukkah in the comments below!

Building a sukkah with smiles
Also on Wednesday night, the traditional markets selling the four species opened their doors, offering the lulav, hadass, aravah and etrog.
Those seeking kosher lulavs can find them for as cheap as NIS 20, but if you're looking for the nicer looking ones—it's going to cost you NIS 200 or higher.
The same is true for the other species, particularly for the etrog, that could go for over NIS 1,000. The cleaner, more blemish-free the etrog, the more expensive it becomes.
