Abstract: We study a lattice Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with interacting staggered fermions in the Kogut-Susskind Hamiltonian formalism. The model has a discrete chiral symmetry but not the usual continuous chiral symmetry. In a strong coupling regime for the four-fermion interaction, we prove that the mass of the fermions is spontaneously generated at sufficiently low non-zero temperatures in the dimensions $uge3$ of the model and zero temperature in $uge2$. Due to the phase transition, the discrete chiral symmetry of the model is broken. Our analysis is based on the reflection positivity for fermions and the method of the infrared bound.
