Purim Joy Brought to Thousands in South Broward

Chabad of South Broward, Headquartered in Hallandale Beach, Florida, celebrated Purim like never before in their 34 year history.

Over 1,000 people participated in the five Megillah Readings held at the main Chabad Center, 400 people took part in the “Miami Heat Purim Feast,” and over 2,000 seniors in nursing homes and patients in hospitals throughout South Broward received Shalach Monos Purim gift bags from staff and volunteers of Chabad of South Broward and from the students of the Chaya Aydel Seminary.

This was the 34th consecutive year that Chabad of South Broward orchestrated a massive Purim Campaign to bring the joy of Purim to the loneliest of people and those who were not able to go to a Synagogue for the joyous Holiday.

“We did what the Rebbe told us to do. We went out of our way to bring the joy of Purim to people who, without our efforts, would have been forgotten,” said Rabbi Raphael Tennenhaus, Chabad’s executive vice president.

With twelve Chabad Centers in South Broward, (and a 13th Center opening in several weeks), Chabad of South Broward and its branches had some 3,000 people attend their Megillah readings, in addition to the countless readings in hospitals and nursing homes.

Special thanks for this massive Purim Campaign goes to Rabbi Levi and Dassy Tennenhaus,  Mr. Joey Mammon, Rabbi Moshe Schwartz, Rabbi Mordy Feiner, Rabbi Mendy Tennenhaus, Rabbi Yossy Lebovics and the girls of the Chaya Aydel Seminary.
