Rabbi of the Jewish community in the United Arab Emirates Rabbi Levi Duchman said: "The Jewish community here lives in peace and tranquility. The Arabs. " 

He said, "Every Jew who lives here permanently or has come here for one purpose or another is invited to our sukkah, and it is of course also open to the wonderful residents of the UAE who welcome us with open arms. There is no doubt that this sukkah will be an example of blessed peace."

At the same time, about 150 "four species" kits, including etrog, lulav, myrtle and willow, arrived in Dubai earlier this week from the United States and were distributed among the local Jews. 

One of the sets will be placed in the public sukkah under the Dubai Burj to allow Jews who have not visited the synagogue to greet them.

Most Jews in Dubai, by the way, will use a sukkah located in the courtyard of the Jewish center of the community
