Jews in Ukraine’s capital city of Kiev celebrated the holiday of Sukkos with a variety of activities organized by local Chabad Shluchim.
Bochurim drove around the city with a mobile sukkah on a bike advertizing the “Uber Sukkah” option for people to scheuale a visit and do a mitzvah. Over Chol Haomed, hundreds of Jews were reached.
A party in the sukkah was organized for Hebrew speakers by Rabbi Elchanan and Heni Kuperman, while Shliach Rabbi Ariel Markovitch took a group of young adults for Shabbos to the Ohel of the Alter Rebbe in Haditch.
Kiev’s Chief Rabbi Yonathan Markovitch distributed baskets of food to children from needy families and to the community elders. They were very excited to see the continuation of the Jewish chain and blessed the Shluchim that it should keep on growing.
In addition, every day, the mitzvah of the Lulav was performed in various places around the city and many people were given the opportunity to have a meal in the Sukkah.
