Brooklyn 1971.
A young man looks forward to Succos.
Although he attends yeshivah his family has no succah of their own. In the early 1970s there were many frum Jews who did not “yet” have their own succah.
People made due with the shul’s succah. The young man and his family were one of those families.
The young man asks his parents if this year they could have their own succah. His parents tell him they can’t afford one.
