A Soldier’s Prayer

Jerusalem, 9 October, 2025 (TPS-IL) -- An Israeli soldier in Gaza City prays with a palm frond bundled with other leaves and a citron traditionally held together during the week-long holiday of Sukkot on Oct. 9, 2025. The holiday marks the harvest festival, and also commemorates God’s Clouds of Glory, which protected the Hebrew nation during 40 years of wandering in the desert. Photo by TPS-IL
