Over 1500 Participate in Georgetown Lag BaOmer Event
Over 1,500 men, women and children attended Chabad of Georgetown, Brooklyn’s annual Lag Ba’omer festival, organized by Rabbi Avraham Holtzberg.
Participants enjoyed entertainment, a barbecue, raffles, rides, music, a bonfire, and lots more.
After Rabbi Shimmy Weinbaum, who arrived with a lively group of Bochurim, told the children the beautiful story behind the Lag BaOmer celebration, many raffles with exciting prizes were distributed, including a grand prize raffle for the brand new Apple Watch!
The crowds of people were free to spend their time among numerous different attractions, including a giant pirate ship, the spinning apple twist, and a mini roller coaster. There was even horseback riding and buggy rides.
“It’s the greatest event of the year, everyone loves to come,” said a participant, “we look forward to it all year round!”
A full dinner was served, with over 2,000 burgers and hotdogs, corn on the cob, ice cream, cotton candy and popcorn. As night fell a large traditional bonfire was lit, accompanied by music, singing, and dancing late into the night.
