Fun and Unity Abound at New Jersey Jewish Renaissance Fair
WEST ORANGE, NJ — More than 2,000 people turned out for a day of fun and unity at the 29th Annual Jewish Renaissance Fair. The event, hosted by the Lubavitch Center of Essex County in West Orange, N.J., took place Sunday at the Richard J. Codey Arena, home to the training facilities of the New Jersey Devils hockey team.
A clown on stilts greeted young and old, inviting them to feast their stomachs, eyes, hearts and minds on all the fair had to offer. Performers Uncle Moishy and Yehuda provided the musical entertainment, while booths positioned around the rink offered food, arts and crafts demonstrations, a shofar factory and challah-baking workshops. Various Judaica stores also set up tables to sell merchandise. In addition, volunteers gave out information on Chabad’s High Holiday services and learning programs, and helped Jewish men put on tefillin.
Michael and Candice Feiler said that after reading about the fair in their local newspaper, they decided to bring their eight-year-old daughter, who attends a Sunday Hebrew School in nearby Paramus.
“We came to give her some Jewish exposure,” said the girl’s father.
