Chabad of the Valley runs a booth each year, offering to put Tefillin on participants and giving out Shabbos Candles.

32 Shluchim from the Valley Area of Los Angeles, under the auspices of Rabbi Joshua B. Gordon, participated.

A booth was also set up to advertise local Chabad summer camps, and encourage registration.

Approixmately 6,000 people visited the Chabad booths. 2,500 Shabbos candle kits were distributed.

“Over 1500 hundred people came to put on Tefillin,” said Rabbi M. Einbinder, “some said the last time they put on Tefillin was at our booth last year.”

The Mivtzoim at the festival was sponsored by Yossi Schneerson of California.
