Yuval Dayan is excited: In the 90th minute, a Chabad emissary arrived and built us a sukkah

October 10, 2022   

Singer and songwriter Yuval Dayan told on her Facebook account how her family managed to obtain a sukkah - just hours before the holiday began. Sukkot in Jerusalem: From the Blessing of the Priests to the Simchat Beit Hashoeva • All Events Dayan wrote: "At 2:00 PM I was upset that we didn't have a sukkah, and I thought to myself, okay... There are cases like this where we have a sukkah in 90 minutes... Why not try?" Dayan picked up two or three phones until she heard: "We use the sukkah for a while every year, and this year it stayed folded up, waiting for you, really lucky." She added: "A dear Chabad emissary here in Ashdod came and built the sukkah for us. Some beautiful decorations. Mom is upstairs cooking, and this is the first time we've had a holiday in our own sukkah." "Thank you to all the good people on the way... You are all invited to us. Have a happy holiday. True unity in our hearts and people. Love you." Dayan, who has grown stronger in recent years, keeps in touch - and when she refused to shake hands with US President Joe Biden at the welcoming ceremony at the President's residence - a storm arose. While some attacked her for it, many supported her. The US ambassador to Israel, Tom Neides, also sent a video to Dayan and clarified that the president was not hurt. Dayan wrote at the time: "A huge thank you to all the supporters. I wholeheartedly forgive all the mockers.".
