Christians call Sukkot the Feast of Tabernacles.

In Zechariah 14:16, the prophet predicts the future, saying that, “Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.”

And so, in a fulfilment of biblical prophecy, thousands of Christians from around the world come to Jerusalem every year to celebrate the holiday.

Events include a Jerusalem march of Christian supporters of Israel from around the world.

Political cartoonist Yaakov Kirschen grew up in Brooklyn, N.Y., made aliyah to Israel in 1971 and began drawing “Dry Bones” in January 1973.

They were reprinted in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal, TIME and other mainstream media publications. The “Dry Bones” story has been covered by CBS, CNN and Forbes, among other outlets. He was a member of America’s National Cartoonists Society and the Israeli Cartoonists Society. Kirschen died at 87 on April 14, 2025.
