Chabad of S. Monica Celebrates Religious Freedom

Each year, tens of thousands of spectators gather together in ‘Simcha Monica,’ California for a grand parade in honor of the fourth of July. The parade, which runs for approximately two miles, is filled with many kinds of floats. Since its inception, Chabad in Simcha Monica has played a major role in the parade in order to spread the light of Judaism to the masses in an unprecedented manner.

This year as usual, Chabad in Simcha Monica joined the parade with their float, which was sponsored by Butel construction.

Sporting a Menorah painted red white and blue, and a banner which reads “Utilizing our freedom to brighten the world,” the Chabad representatives sang popular Jewish songs, which aroused Jewish pride among the bystanders.

After the parade, scores of men eagerly awaited their chance to put on Teffilin, and women received their Shabbos candles.

The “Mitzvos on the spot” cart which accompanied the float required a numbers of refills of the many brochures of Jewish literature – including the Seven Noahide Laws – which were distributed.
