‘Anshei Moshe’ Parades Lincoln Place

As Lag BaOmer approached, the Kehillas ‘Anshei Moshe’ Family of Lincoln Place in Crown Heights transformed into a hub of excitement and joy. In the early afternoon, children gathered to create beautiful “Geon Yaakov” banners, each showcasing a special mitzvah or aspect of Yiddishkeit. Was a beautiful “Mommy&Me” arts-n’-crafts session where every child proudly prepared their own banner and crown for the parade. Special Yasher Koach to Rabbi Getzel and Mrs Chana Rubashkin for running the crafts

Grand Rashbi Rally

At 8:00, the children gathered outside for a Grand Rally Lichvod Rashbi, complete with snacks, balloons, and engaging activities. With over 100 Kinderlach in participation, Kindelach learned about the significance of Lag BaOmer, recited the 12 Pesukim, and enjoyed stories, raffles, and prizes. Rally was led by the Shul’s Rav, Rabbi Menachem Mendel D. Yusewitz .

Parade and March

As nightfall arrived, the community came together for a vibrant Lag BaOmer parade. The marching band of Ohr Menachem Kita Zayen, led by Hatomim Shlomi Wilhelm, took the lead. With torches in hand and a large Rashbi banner, the participants proudly marched through the streets of Crown Heights, filling the air with music and joy.

Medura Lighting and Farbrengen

The parade concluded back at Anshei Moshe, where in honor of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai [following the daily Minyan Maariv] the traditional lighting of the Medura (bonfire) began. Fathers lit the fire, and the community came together for a night of Tattys and Kinderlach dancing and singing around the Medura.

Special 3 course Fleishige Seuda was served at the bonfire masterfully prepared by Reb Moishe Sandroi who also hosetd the Medurah

Special thanks to R’ Simcha Taich for the bonfire arrangements, running the music and much more! and R’ Shemi Harel for the torches. The ‘Anshei Moshe Family’ Shul truly made this Lag BaOmer an unforgettable experience.
