The four large golden lamps situated in the WomenÕs Court provided illumination during the Simchat Beit Hashoeva * celebrations which took place during the nights of Sukkot. The Gemara * relates that the light that emanated from the lamps was so strong that a woman could sift wheat by their light. It further states that all the courtyards in Jerusalem were illuminated by their light.(Sources: Succa 5:2; Succa 53)  Dimensions
