700 people from Crown Heights joined for a Chanukah ice skating event at Brooklyn’s Prospect Park on Sunday, the 1st night of Chanukah.
The community-wide event was organized by Bais Shmuel Chabad of Crown Heights, which organizes many communal events throughout the year.
The crowd proudly celebrated Chanukah in the public park, enjoying hot latkes, doughnuts and pizza and ice skating on separate rinks to Jewish music at the Le Frak rink.
The highlight of the event was the lighting of a large Menorah, lit by Zalman Lezell, dedicated Bais Shmuel member.
The children gathered to recite the 12 pesukim and Chanukah gelt was distributed to the over 350 children in attendance by Bais Shmuel President Rabbi Moshe Pinson.
