15,000 people gathered on Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights for a grand Mega-Hakhel unity event.
The program included singers Chaim Fogelman and Eli Marcus, music by Chony Milecki orchestra, and production by Mendy Boaron.
The program ended with an hour of lively Simchas Beis Hashoeiva dancing.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the organizers of the members who worked really hard on making this beautiful event and it was really successful I would like to thank the NYPD for blocking off the streets on Eastern Parkway a big thank you to all the superstars for singing really beautiful and another big thank you to 3 people Shimmy Weinbaum , Chony Milecki and Eli Marcus great job you guys are all the man you rock the house
I am telling my kids this is is how we felt by rallies. It was worth being here for Yom Tov just for that. Pure ruchniusdik joy.
It’s so sad that people in this community are so selfless and take on to do such great work, which we all enjoy and appreciate yet they are left with tens of thousands of dollars in debt.
I don’t have any money, I just borrowed $1,000 to make yom tov but I will be giving $140 begematriya hakhel and if 250 people join me there will be no more chovos.
Are you in

I’m a shliach on a small town and it was tremendously uplifting to watch it live. Thank you to all those that arranged it. Looking forward to the next one!
