Dubai’s secret Jewish community can finally celebrate their festivities and traditions openly (thanks to the recent US-brokered normalization between the UAE and Isreal) and boiiii is it a sight to behold.

Starting from Friday, October 2, Dubai’s Jewish expats indulged in a week-long harvest festival of all things Sukkot (AKA the Festival of Shelters) over the last one week and the community was left shooketh seeing Burj Khalifa joining in on the celebrations as well.

Dubai peeps were more than happy to share how the morning Jewish prayers are done during the week-long festival of Sukkot – which are followed by the recital of the complete Hallel

With Dubai being a melting pot of culture and diversification, many took to social media to share their first-ever Sukkot in the UAE with brothers and sisters of other nationalities

The temporary shelter built during the festival of Sukkot sees a small, hut-like structure made of sticks, leaves and twine.

A traditional tent for sukkah was also seen at the base of the Burj Khalifa, outside the first kosher restaurant in the UAE!!
