An ultra-Orthodox Jewish man walk next to a sukkah, a temporary structure built for the Jewish holiday of Sukkot in Jerusalem, Thursday, Oct. 1, 2009. The huts commemorate the temporary, portable dwellings in which the Jewish people lived during their 40-year sojourn in the wilderness that followed their liberation from slavery in Egypt. The seven-day Sukkot festival, mandated by Leviticus 23:34-35 and 23:39-43, begins at sunset on Friday Oct. 2.
