Build A Sukkah Initiative

barkai sukkah Once again, the Barkai Center has launched its Build A Sukkah initiative. The initiative sends a team of teen volunteers to people all over Israel who are unable to build their own Sukkot- older people, shut ins, people with disabilities, etc. With the assistance of hundreds of volunteers, Barkai uses its network of 78 rabbis and communities to reach those who are in need. This year over 200 sukkot have already been built. Click here to view video.

The Barkai Center for Practical Rabbinics aims to improve the fabric of Israeli society by intensively training Israeli rabbis in all aspects of communal rabbinics so that they can lead their communities to a more meaningful connection with Judaism and act as a unifying force in Israeli society.
