Originating over 200 years ago in Munich, Germany, the annual Oktoberfest is best known as a celebration of beer, food, and music that’s gradually spread to all corners of the globe.
This year, Jerusalem had its first full-scale Oktoberfest celebration during Sukkot at the First Station, with everything from traditional beer tents and live music to Bavarian beer and food.
During Chol Hamoed Sukkot, Jerusalemites came out in large numbers to sit at the long, wooden, communal tables, to enjoy some giant beers, sausages and pretzels and listen to live music.
Join us for another in our series of video Tastes of Jerusalem as we shop, drink, enjoy the music, and mingle with the residents and visitors to this lively city during the holiday season.
Tonight is Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah in Israel, both days wrapped into one. The diaspora observes two days of Yom Tov on Monday and Tuesday. We'll be back blogging again on Wednesday.
Enjoy and Chag Sameach!
