Celebrations Day and Night in the City of Light

Throughout Sukkos, Anash and bochurim brought the mitzvos and joy of Yom Tov to Jews across Paris, with Simchas Beis Hashoeva celebrations and extensive mivtzoim throughout the city.

On Motzei Shabbos, a large Simchas Beis Hashoeva was held at Chabad of Flandre, with Rabbi Levi Azimov and Rabbi Mendel Azimov. On Monday evening, dancing and Sukkos celebrations were held at the Place de la République and Place de la Bastille, with Rabbi Levi Azimov, Rabbi Binyamin Margi, Rabbi Daniel Gabay, and Rabbi Mendel Azimov.

Throughout Chol Hamoed, a mobile sukkah operated by Rabbi Shlomo Ben-Shushan traveled through the streets of Paris, giving Jews the opportunity to bentch lulav and esrog. Mivtzoim also extended underground into the Paris Métro, where Jews passing through were offered the opportunity to perform the mitzvah.

At 17 Rue des Rosiers, the historic shul where the Rebbe davened during his years in Paris, Rabbi Yisroel Lubetzky conducted a sukkah and lulav mivtzoim throughout Yom Tov.
