Chabad of Chestnut Ridge at Nyack Street Fair

Yesterday, Sunday, Chabad of Chestnut Ridge, led by Rabbi Chaim Zvi (Tzili) & Chaya Ehrenreich, had a booth, under the scorching sun, at the Nyack Street Fair on Main Street in Nyack.

Hundreds of people stopped by the Chabad booth where over 25 people put on Tefilin, 60 neshek kits were distributed, more than 300 brochures about all mivtzoim were given out and many people asked to be notified of upcoming events at the Chabad Center.

Three people, including an 80 year old man, put on Tefilin for the first time in their lives – fully completing the celebration of their respective Bar Mitzvahs! When each one put one Tefilin there was singing and dancing “siman tov u'mazal tov” in the streets of Nyack. There was one frum bystander who was literally in tears of joy as he witnessed the amazing scene.

Many children also had the opportunity to do art projects about Yerushalayim and Eretz Yisroel.

Special thanks goes to the bochurim, Adam Epstein, Mechi Gancz and Binyamin Kroker for helping out all day with tremendous Chayus and devotion.
