Long Beach Chabad Hosts Fun Summer Carnival

One of the best kept secrets for the perfect Memorial Day getaway adventure was unveiled at the Memorial Day weekend Carnival on the Long Beach, NY, boardwalk.  Rabbi Eli and Beila Goodman, directors of Chabad of the Beaches, produced the Summer Carnival, a gala entertainment and educational event with fun and free admission for the entire family.

More than 1,500 adults and children throughout the metropolitan NY area flocked to the carnival, which ran Sunday and Monday Memorial Day Weekend, to enjoy the exciting roller coaster rides and breathtaking views of the beach from atop the Ferris wheel.  Bumper cars, a Tilt-a-Wheel, challenging arcade games, prizes and face painting rounded out the carnival experience.

The star of the carnival, at least for the many Jews who came from Brooklyn and other neighboring areas, was a stand that enabled children to take part in helping complete a Sefer Torah.

Also, many men and boys had the opportunity to wrap Tefillin, some for the very first time. To increase the joy, visitors feasted on glatt kosher hot dogs, poppers, popcorn and cotton candy in the refreshing sea air provided by Slidewalk kosher food truck, and cholov yisroel ice cream provided by the Bazel ice cream truck.

The Memorial Day carnival is just one of the many ways that Chabad of the Beaches interweaves fun and education for an out-of-this world experience. In case you missed it this year, mark your calendar for the Memorial Weekend Carnival in Long Beach or even better in Yerushalayim!
