Jerusalem March (Hebrew: צעדת ירושלים) is an annual march in Jerusalem that takes place during the week-long festival of Sukkot.
History
The event was inaugurated in 1955.[1] In 2012, 30,000 marchers took part in the event, which draws participants from all over the country as well as many international delegations.[2] 6,000 Christian supporters of Israel also marched through the streets of Jerusalem, singing Hatikva and wishing the Israeli spectators a happy holiday.[3]
The march has a number of routes, the main one running from Kikar Safra in downtown Jerusalem to Gan Sacher, one of the city's largest public parks.[4]
The International Christian Embassy Jerusalem, a pro-Israel Evangelical Christian group, holds its annual conference on Sukkot and conference participants, many in national costumes, take part in the march.[5]
The two largest delegations at the Jerusalem March in 2018 were Brazil, with 900 members, and Ivory Coast, with 500.[6]
