Over 2,000 people visited the Queens Chanukah Experience run by Chabad of Eastern Queens.

The Chanukah Experience was open to the public on Sunday and Monday and open for school trips on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.The event featured live game shows, olive oil demos, circus workshops, Chanuka crafts, a glow in the dark oil hunt, latke and chocolate making, and a creative activity center where children played giant Chanukah twister or connect four, built a six foot tall lego menorah and did many other activities.

The highlight of the event was the huge dreidel house where the children were able to climb into and pose inside of the dreidel.

Students from Yeshiva Har Torah, Yeshiva of Central Queens, Yeshiva Primary, Tiferet Moshe, Sharei Tzion and Bnos Malka Academy enjoyed their trip immensely.

Rabbi Yerachmiel Zalmanov, director of Chabad of Eastern Queens, was pleased with the large turnout. “We are grateful for the opportunity to make a kiddush hashem and a kiddush Lubavitch.” He concluded by saying “we owe a special thank you to the incredible volunteers from Bais Rivkah who gave up their Chanukah vacation to make this event the success that it was.”
