YOC's grade 12 class worked together in teams to build a significant number of sukkahs in the community. In addition to fundraising for their graduation trip, they helped ensure members of our community could fulfill the mitzvah of having a sukkah, while gaining valuable practical experience and business skills. The program was organized by Jory Dayan and Jacob Keslassy, who ensured all behind-the-scenes details were well organized. Chag Sameach!

Student Council, together with the shlichot, prepared a Sukkot/Simchat Torah activity during lunch. The girls played a game on Sukkot trivia and made edible Torahs. Chag Sameach!
