Sukkos in Jerusalem is one of the most festive experiences anywhere. The
crowded city is replete with sukkahs large and small, but did you know that some
of them belong to Jerusalem Open House? You can help us provide meals in
there throughout yom tov!
Imagine those who desperately count on us for food. When they have no sukkah
to eat in, they feel an even greater lack. That´s why, every year, we rent vacant
lots, erect large sukkahs, and serve hundreds of fresh and delicious meals all
throughout Sukkos. This helps needy families enjoy zeman simchaseinu as
everyone deserves.
In addition to distributing warm clothing for Israel´s children at or below cost price,
Jerusalem Open House also distributes 1,000 shekels to 200 orphaned families on
erev Succos, as well as
over 300 food packages (including meat and wine) to
numerous needy families.

Succos
I was ashamed to approach anyone and ask my family over as guests… The thought of
lowering myself to such a pathetic level was even harder to bear than the idea of going
hungry for another few days. I was already halfway home from shul when the Rav´s son
caught up with me an invited me to a Jerusalem Open House sukkah.
