Saratoga Climbs Mt. Sefira

SARATOGA, SPRINGS, NY [CHI] — Entertained by Jugglers, and urged on by their parents on the ground, scores of children at Saratoga Chabad’s Pesach Upstate NY fair dared to ascend 49 “Sefira” steps on a 3 story rock climbing symbolizing the daily Mitzva to reach the heights of “Mt. Sinai.”

Visiting families were also treated to freshly squeezed fruit juices with Kosher For Passover foods.

Chabad House rooms were decorated with Egyptian bondage pageantry of Pyramids and life size enthroned Pharaoh murals “The Haggadah teaches us “in each generation a person should see as if he is liberated from Egypt,” so we reenact the Exodus,” said Rabbi Abba Rubin.
