In preparation for the upcoming Sukkot holiday, AMIT students across the country help build sukkahs for those in need of assistance.
Students from AMIT schools across the network publicized an offer for assistance to those in need of help to build their sukkahs, with staff and students helping the elderly and disabled assemble sukkahs in their homes.
This was publicized through different channels such as the local municipality’s Facebook pages, publicity in local newspapers, flyers inserted into postboxes and hung at assisted living facilities and more.
AMIT students were able to help the elderly, single-parent households, and those with disabilities who were happy to have the opportunity to have their own sukkah next to their home which they would not be able to build on their own.
Yisrael Abukrat, a student of AMIT Yeshiva High School for Boys in Ashdod shared, “This is a special opportunity for us to help those in need build their own sukkah. Their happiness is great- and mine is even greater for having the opportunity to help others rejoice in celebrating the Holiday.”
Avinoam Almagor, principal of AMIT Bienenfeld Havruta Yeshiva High School in Kfar Batya, Ra’anana shared, “On the holiday of Sukkot, we are told to rejoice in the holiday- this happiness is that of giving. We will continue to build sukkahs for all in need up until the start of the Holiday with hope to enable as many people as possible fulfill this mitzvah of the Holiday of Sukkot.”
