Happy Purim From CrownHeights.info!

We here the staff of CrownHeights.info (yeh such a big ‘staff’) would like to wish all of our readers (all the thousands of you) who come to this site from all over the world to get real Crown Heights news, a Happy and Frailichen Purim.

We would also like to caution you all to take extra care and keep this time a joyous one and not have to have one of our photographers around taking pictures of some unwanted incident ;-), rather have them take pictures of people all dressed up running around delivering Shalach Manot!

So if you plan on drinking, drop the car keys and don’t drive, and when you drink even tough it’s a mitzvah to exaggerate, be sensible (what an oxymoron), and may it be a real Venahafoch Hu that this Golus should change into Geulah!

New York to witness mass “Exodus”

Walk-through show recreates the exodus from Egypt, with visitors taking an active role in the narrative

After playing to sold-out crowds in more than 10 major cities, spanning 4 continents, the Exodus experience will return to New York beginning March 5 at the Jewish Children’s Museum.

The biblical account of Jewish slavery in Egypt is brought to life in this fully interactive show. “Exodus” creators say they designed the program to give people – particularly children – a peek into the colorful history of the Jewish people, not only through hearing about it, but by actually being there.

The show begins with participants climbing into a “Time Machine” for the journey back into ancient Egypt. Upon “arrival” visitors will make stops in Pharaoh’s palace to witness the Ten Plagues, watch Moses demand of Pharaoh: “Let my people go!” walk through the splitting sea and cross the desert to receive the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai.

Last year the Soul II Soul concert with Avraham Fried was completely SOLD OUT! People who came without tickets were not allowed in as there were no seats. They missed this fantastic event because they waited too long to buy tickets. Don’t let this happen to you, don’t be left behind!

The most fantastic show is returning to Crown Heights for the fourth year in a row! The Soul II Soul concert with Avraham Fried is back again this year with a new, special show that is sure to be memorable to those lucky enough to attend.

Tickets are on sale at Judaica World or jewishtickets.com.
