What an incredible evening that was!! The spirit and energy was palpable as over 600 guests entered the Grand Ballroom this past Sunday to join in celebrating Chabad's Bar Mitzvah Dinner.
The honorees and I are truly appreciative of all who made the effort to join us and are thankful to the many who submitted journal ads and contributions over the last several weeks. It's been most encouraging to see that our community and friends value and appreciate the vital work carried out by the Chabad Center and care enough to participate in a meaningful way. I would also like to express our overwhelming gratitude to the guests of honor, the dinner chairmen, committee and countless volunteers for their tireless efforts in making the dinner the tremendous success it was.
And with Purim coming up next Friday, I encourage you to participate in Chabad’s Purim Celebrations. There’s something for everyone, beginning with Thursday night’s multimedia megillah reading at 7:45 pm, continuing with numerous megillah readings throughout Purim and culminating with our annual Purim Feast on Friday night, this year themed, Purim in the Palace. Please see the detailed information below and we look forward to celebrating Purim with you!
Best wishes for a Shabbat Shalom and Freilechen Purim,
Rabbi Zalman Wolowik
