Two thousand five hundred people come out to celebrate together lag BaOmer in the north part of Toronto, smiling children had lots of fun, adults put on Tefilin and everyone enjoyed a great BBQ.
Thursday afternoon thousands came outside the Swartz/Reisman Centre where they watched a wonderful show.
Children representing every Chabad house in the area came up to recite the 12 Pesukim, followed by a marching parade.
Inflatables, rides, carnival, BBQ and food court, pony rides, carnival booths, concession machines, bonfire, game truck and more at both events, the Lag Baomer spirit was felt in the air!
Many people had a great time with their community at booths created by the shluchim.
This event was just one event, held in Toronto, another was held in South Toronto at Earl Bales Park.
Coordinated by: Dovid Faynberg and Rabbi Mendel Zaltzman of the Jewish Russian Community Centre of Ontario (JRCC), Rabbi Yisrael Landa and Rabbi Shimon Binstak of Chabad Israeli Center and Rabbi Yonah Vilenken of Tzivos Hashem.
Thank you to all the Shluchim that partnered in this:
Rabbi Moshe Spalter & Rabbi Zalman Grossbaum: Chabad of Southern Ontario, Rabbi Mendel Bernstein: Chabad Romano, Rabbi Avraham E. Plotkin & Rabbi Meir Gitlin: Chabad of Markham, Rabbi Avrohom Yusewitz: JRCC of Woodbridge, Rabbi Levi Mishulovin: JRCC of Concord, Rabbi Avrohom Zaltzman: JRCC S Richmond Hill & Maple, Rabbi Chezki Deren: Chabad of Maple, Rabbi Chaim Hildesheim: Chabad Russian Center of Thornhill Woods, Rabbi Mendel Kaplan: Chabad Flamingo and Rabbi Shmuli Nachlas: JYN.
And the 110 Volunteers who registered and worked and made this event the great unity and success it was.
May we merit that through this event of Achdus and Jewish Pride we go straight to the Geula with the coming of Moshiach right now!
