Hadji Ephraim Benguiat and members of his family—probably his wife, Rebecca, and daughter Luna—pose for a photograph during the celebration of Sukkot, the Jewish harvest festival. They stand by the sukkah at their home in Smyrna, modern-day Izmir. Hadji holds a lulav (a palm branch bound with sprigs of myrtle and willow) and an etrog (citron fruit) in his hands, both ceremonial objects associated with the holiday. The Benguiats were observant Jews in a port city with a robust multiethnic population.
