On Sunday, September 30th, 2018, CHAZAQ’s Shaping Lives Sunday program organized an exciting Sukkot Party at the Beth Gavriel Center in Forest Hills. Over 60 Jewish public-school elementary aged children, from three distinct Shaping Lives Sunday Programs, attended this special event.

For many of these children, it was their first time sitting in a Sukkah, shaking the Lulav and Etrog and learning about what it means to take part in this meaningful holiday. It was truly a memorable experience.

With over 20 dedicated CHAZAQ staff members attending, the children had a truly memorable experience. There was face painting, freeze dancing, hot pizza, along with great raffles. Additionally, each child created a Sukkah decoration featuring their very own picture at the center of their masterpiece.

The children were also given exciting tidbits about the holiday of Simchat Torah. The teachers explained that even though we may have finished learning the entire Torah throughout the year, we begin all over again because there is always something new to learn! At the end of the event, each child got their own Simchat Torah flag to take home with happy smiles on their faces.

The teachers were so proud of the excitement and the energy they felt from the children. As one teacher put it, “We feel we’re doing something right!”

Each member of the staff feels strongly, that they are not just part of a team, but a part of a family; a family that works together to reach the hearts of hundreds of children and parents on a monthly basis. They dedicate their time and efforts to ignite the spark of Judaism in each and every one of the lives they touch.  In this way, it can be ensured that the Torah flame
is eternal.
