The Sukkot holiday in Israel is one of the year’s most culturally packed weeks. Dozens of family-oriented festivals vie for audiences from across the country.
Notice boards located outside schools and kindergartens are layered with flyers advertising one performance over another.
With a blooming arts and entertainment scene in Israel, however, it’s difficult to make a wrong choice. The Yaron Yerushalmy Magical Legends children’s theater festival in Tel Aviv is a standard during the Sukkot holiday. So, too, are the Haifa International Film Festival and Pearls of Classical Music Festival in Jerusalem.
