The sirens wailed on Saturday, October 6, at 1:55 pm. However, it is worth remembering that the war was still underway during the Jewish holiday of Sukkot which took place soon after. Thus, enlisted and reserve soldiers found themselves \u201ccelebrating\u201d the harvest festival on the frontlines in both the Sinai Desert in the south and the Golan Heights in the north.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_107580\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-107580\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nli.org.il\/en\/images\/NNL_ARCHIVE_AL004004715\/NLI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-107580 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/990040047150205171-500.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/990040047150205171-500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/990040047150205171-500-300x203.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-107580\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An improvised sukkah on an armored personnel carrier.

What probably drove the battle-weary soldiers was their desire for even a little of the holiday atmosphere, a brief respite.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A reporter for the <em>Al HaMishmar<\/em> newspaper who accompanied the soldiers in the difficult battles along the Suez Canal in the south <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nli.org.il\/en\/newspapers\/ahr\/1973\/10\/12\/01\/article\/22\/?e=-------en-20--1--img-txIN%7ctxTI--------------1\">reported<\/a> in Hebrew: \u201cDespite the bitter fighting, there is no forgetting that civilian life goes on. On the frontline we discovered an improvised sukkah: a half-track vehicle decorated with branches, completely kosher.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the collections of the National Library of Israel we found several rare photographs documenting soldiers erecting improvised sukkot on jeeps and other military vehicles. It&#8217;s unclear if all of these creative sukkah booths fulfill the\u00a0 requirements according to Jewish law, but it is very possible that for the soldiers at the front, they provided some joy and a sense of home during difficult days.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_107586\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-107586\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nli.org.il\/en\/images\/NNL_ARCHIVE_AL997008911765505171\/NLI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-107586 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/997008911765505171-500.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/997008911765505171-500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/997008911765505171-500-300x245.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-107586\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A sukkah on an army vehicle in the Golan, 1973.
