The free event will include a balloon drop, balloon rockets, balloon typhoon, balloon sculptures and a balloon carnival -- something for everyone from the youngest children to senior citizens. Featured will be a Giant 12 ft Balloon Menorah in keeping with the giant structures that Chabad of the Rivertowns has become known for since being founded four years ago by Rabbi Benjy and Hinda Silverman.
"Our objective in sponsoring this and other events," said Silverman, "is to provide a warm and friendly place where all feel welcome, where no membership or affiliation is required, where children can participate freely in our wonderful facility, and where residents of all ages can share the joys of Chanukah with family and friends."
Chabad of the Rivertowns To Hold Chanukah Balloon Fest
Dobbs Ferry, NY – Rabbi Benjy Silverman, Director of Chabad of the Rivertowns, has announced a Chanukah Balloon Fest to take place on the first night of Chanukah, Sunday, December 25th beginning at 3:45 pm at Chabad, 303 Broadway in Dobbs-Ferry.
The free event will include a balloon drop, balloon rockets, balloon typhoon, balloon sculptures and a balloon carnival — something for everyone from the youngest children to senior citizens. Featured will be a Giant 12 ft Balloon Menorah in keeping with the giant structures that Chabad of the Rivertowns has become known for since being founded four years ago by Rabbi Benjy and Hinda Silverman.
“Our objective in sponsoring this and other events,” said Silverman, “is to provide a warm and friendly place where all feel welcome, where no membership or affiliation is required, where children can participate freely in our wonderful facility, and where residents of all ages can share the joys of Chanukah with family and friends.”
“Throughout the last four years, attendance at our Chanukah events has grown exponentially. Those new to Chabad and/or to the Rivertowns make new acquaintances and those who participate in our many and diverse educational, spiritual and out-reach programs –- including classes on ethics and morality from the perspective of Judaism, learning to read Hebrew, and study of the weeks Torah portion; an affordable Hebrew school with classes for all levels; a Club for young teenage girls; “Women’s Night Out” programs; a Friendship Circle community service program; and weekly Shabbat and monthly Children’s Shabbat Adventure services — all celebrate together,” concluded Rabbi Silverman.
