The Queens Chanukah Experience was open to the public on Sunday December 22, and open for school trips on Monday and Tuesday. Over 800 students from Yeshiva of Central Queens, Yeshiva Har Torah, Yeshiva Sharei Tzion and Bnos Malka were some of the students who enjoyed a trip to the Queens Chanukah Experience this year.
The event featured live game shows, olive oil demos, Chanukah crafts, making latkes, doughnuts and Chanukah candles, a creative activity center where children played giant Chanukah board games, jumped in a holiday moon bounce, built a six foot tall Lego menorah and enjoyed a walk-in Glow in the Dark center.
A hands on Puppet Theater where children made their own puppet shows and a book nook filled with Chanukah books, were set up for the younger children. Children were able to climb inside a huge dreidel and stick their heads out the gimmel for a unique photo shoot. A unique Chanukah buzzer game, a giant I Shpy, a life size Yehudah Macabee, a Giant Clik menorah and dreidel all added to the excitement. The children were even able to visit the Kosel!
Rabbi Yerachmiel Zalmanov, director of Chabad of Eastern Queens, was pleased with the large turnout. “We are so pleased we were able to provide the Queens Jewish community with this opportunity to once again celebrate Chanukah in such a creative way. We owe a special thank you to the incredible volunteers who made this event the success that it was.”
