Description

An exhibition of photographs held in the communal sukkah of the Michlalah. The theme of the year—the zodiac—was inspired by the illustrations of the 12 signs that often appear alongside the prayer for rain, which is recited on Simchat Torah (the last day of Sukkot). Some 50 photographs show various buildings, documents and objects adorned with the zodiac symbols. No itemized listing.
