On the second day of Chol Hamoed, the Jewish Agency organized two Succoth gatherings together  with Prime Minister Mr. Ehud Olmert  at the prime minister's Residence. One gathering was for lone soldiers and the other for new immigrants and volunteers involved in Jewish Agency programs. The prime minister was quite moved by the meeting and declared that, "there is no State of Israel without Aliyah".
