Chabad of North Hollywood and Young Chevra of Southern California once again brought both Anash and the broader Los Angeles and Valley communities together en masse for a Grand Community Simchas Beis Hashoeva.

Over 1,500 people came together from the Los Angeles Jewish communities to join in the festivities in the streets of North Hollywood.

New York singer Yoni Zigelboum flew in for the event, enthralling participants with a dynamic full length street-concert. He was joined by Choni Goldman, winner of Season Three of “A Jewish Star” music competition, making his first public debut on the West Coast.

The Family Sukkot Festival and Concert also featured local talent Yanky Lunger and an array of circus acts and street performers from Hollywood.

The MC of the event, Rabbi Mayer Greene offered special thanks to event co-producers Rabbi Nachman Abend and Jonathan Herzog. He also paid tribute to Chabad of North Hollywood’s Spiritual Leader Rabbi Aaron Abend, who shared divrei Torah with the diverse crowd.

Chabad of the Valley’s Executive Director, Rabbi Yehoshua Gordon addressed everyone with words of inspiration and in honor of the event his colleague, Rabbi Mordechai Einbinder arranged for U.S. Congressman Brad Sherman to present the community with a Flag from the Congress in Washington.

Jugglers, acrobats, balloon artists, stilt walkers and a variety of food vendors, kept the streets of Hollywood buzzing with excitement throughout the evening.

Organizers expressed appreciation and acknowledged official corporate sponsors Milano Collection Wigs, Southern California Community Links, Cambridge Farms/Glatt Mart and L.A’s newly acclaimed restaurant MexiKosher.
