Nonetheless, according to the researchers, there is no certainty that this is in fact King David’s burial site. The Bible mentions that King David was buried in the City of David, which is located at the foot of the Temple Mount. We know from the bible that some of the kings were buried in a place called the Garden of Uzza- but its location was not identified to this day. The tradition that locates the Tomb of King David in this site was first documented in the 9th century by the Muslims and adopted over the years by many believers. The structure that contains the grave is actually the “crypt”, the underground hall of the crusader church. The building was renovated into its current shape during the 14th century by Franciscan monks, the custodians of the Holy Land. During the 16th century the Franciscan monks were expelled by the Muslims, and the building became a mosque, serving for hundreds of years as a prayer house for Muslims, who consider King David to be one of their prophets. Today the site is visited mainly by Jews, and it is run in a synagogue model. The tombstone is in the interior room, with separate entrances for men and women. At the center of the room is a tomb covered by a cloth. On the back of the burial coffin you can see an alcove in the wall, perhaps a remnant of an ancient synagogue which was mentioned in the Byzantine era as one of the seven synagogues that were located on Mount Zion. In the past, colorful tiles decorated the walls, when the place served as a mosque. These were Iznik tiles, named after the city in Turkey where they were manufactured 200 years ago. These tiles were shattered in an atrocious vandalism attack. Those who are interested can visit a number of additional sites in Mount Zion: The Holocaust Cellar, the Dormition Abbey, Oscar Schindler’s Grave and the Church of Saint Peter in Gallicantu. Sukkot 2024 Sukkot is a weeklong Jewish holiday that comes five days after Yom Kippur. Sukkot celebrates the gathering of the harvest and commemorates the miraculous protection G‑d provided for the children of Israel when they left Egypt. We celebrate Sukkot by dwelling in a foliage-covered booth (known as a sukkah) and by taking the “Four Kinds” (arba minim), four special species of vegetation. Of all the Jewish holidays, Sukkot is the only one whose date does not seem to commemorate a historic event. The Torah refers to it by two names: Chag HaAsif (“the Festival of Ingathering,” or “Harvest Festival”) and Chag HaSukkot (“Festival of Booths”), each expressing a reason for the holiday. In Israel, crops grow in the winter and are ready for harvest in the late spring. Some of them remain out in the field to dry for a few months and are only ready for harvest in the early fall. Chag HaAsif is a time to express appreciation for this bounty. The name Chag HaSukkot commemorates the temporary dwellings G‑d made to shelter our ancestors on their way out of Egypt (some say this refers to the miraculous clouds of glory that shielded us from the desert sun, while others say it refers to the tents in which they dwelled for their 40-year trek through the Sinai desert).
