A woman from the ancient Samaritan community decorates a Sukkah made from fresh fruit for the holiday of the Tabernacles, or Sukkot, in Mount Gerizim near the West Bank town of Nablus, Monday, Oct. 10, 2011. The Sukkah is a temporary structure built for the Jewish holiday Sukkot, which the Samaritans will celebrate early Tuesday. According to tradition, the Samaritans are descendants of Jews who were not deported when the Assyrians conquered Israel in the 8th century B.C. and of the small community of around 700 people, half live in a village at Mount Gerizim, and the rest in the city of Holon near Tel Aviv.
