We all know how the Purim story begins. King Achashverosh makes a feast for 180 days followed with 7 more days of partying with his closest allies…….and we all know the ending too.
At CHAZAQ, there weren’t exactly 180 days of partying but there was a weeklong celebration of Purim with parties and lectures in over 15 locations throughout New York and the result was simply inspiring.
From hundreds of children packing the YCQ auditorium for a pre-purim party, to a festive purim day meal at the Tiffereth Shalom Minyan in the Young Israel of Forest Hills, to children celebrating at CHAZAQ’s Shaping Lives programs in a dozen locations, to a wonderful lecture and meal for women at Beth Gavriel, to a delicious Purim feast at the Walkin’s for public school teens, to a children’s party at the Sephardic Center, to a rocking mother-daughter Post purim party at Chazaq’s Bnos Fraidel Teens lounge in Forest Hills, hundreds celebrated Purim in style with the perfect balance of spirituality and physical nourishment at CHAZAQ.
“It’s beautiful to see so many services and programs for our youth” said one happy mother from Fresh Meadows, whose 8 year old daughter attends Chazaq’s Shaping Lives program, and 17 year old son attends Chazaq’s Jwave program for teens. “Chazaq is a one-stop shop” she says with a smile.
Indeed, Chazaq’s dedicated staff worked tirelessly to provide all these great programs and services for the community. With Purim behind us, Chazaq is continuing their daily programs while simultaneously preparing special Pesach lectures and events for the community at large.
