It’s been a jam-packed week full of Hanukkah parties, surprises, and fun throughout the country as our Chai Lifeline regions kicked off a fabulous start to Hanukkah 2011!

In New York, hundreds of people gathered at the Tiferes Mordechai hall for an exciting party featuring Avraham Fried and the Incredible Bubble Man. In Jersey’s Yeshivah Ketanah, our children enjoyed an Uncle Moishy show, a gymnastics display, and a concert by Dovid Gabay. Over in the Southeast region, a ventriloquist performed for our kids. The night was complete with Camp Simcha style dancing, Hanukkah crafts, and of course some good ol’ fashioned draidel spinning. The Skokie Valley Synagogue in the Midwest enjoyed a mesmerizing show by magician Dennis Watkins. Our West Coasters were entertained by a wild animal show and Chanukah-themed crafts. Finally, (though not exactly in this country, but close enough!) hundreds attended a fun-filled evening up in Canada that included whirly-ball, a bubble show, wild animals, bowling, laser tag, arcade games, and a bouncy castle.
Of course, all of our children went home with Chanukah gifts galore. (Did you SEE the size of those gift boxes?!)
Wishing you and your family a Happy Hanukkah from all of us at Camp Simcha and Chai Lifeline!
