All Day
Binara Full Moon Poya Day
Binara Full Moon Poya commemorates the establishment of the Bhikkhuni Order, when the Buddha ordained his foster mother Mahāpajāpati Gotami and 500 women. This completed the Fourfold Sangha (monks, nuns, laymen, laywomen). The event marked a historic step in recognizing women’s spiritual capacity, a legacy still honored in Sri Lanka today.
First Day of Sukkot
In Israel, the First Day of Sukkot is observed as a holy day with sukkah meals, synagogue prayers, and the waving of the Four Species, marking the beginning of a week of joy, gratitude and community celebrations. It blends the ancient biblical tradition of desert remembrance and harvest thanksgiving with modern Israeli culture.
