Free Kosher Hotdogs for 4th of July Revelers

Jewish beachgoers couldn’t pass up the opportunity to enjoy a free kosher hotdog this Independence Day, descending on the tent set up at Newport Avenue and the sand in Ventnor, N.J., for an evening snack provided by Chabad-Lubavitch of Atlantic County.

It’s become an annual tradition, given that July 4 is one of two dates when barbequing is permitted on the local beach.

“We always set up a tent and a grill and offer free kosher hotdogs to anyone who comes by,” said Rabbi Avrohom Rapoport. “It’s a great way to meet new Jewish families on the shore.”

Participants are also offered to put on tefilin.
