From Lockdown to Joy in Boston

In a park only minutes away from the recent Watertown shoot-out between police and the Boston marathon bombers, over 200 children gathered in Brighton, Massachusetts to enjoy the festivities in true Lag B’Omer spirit.

Hundreds enjoyed 3 different moon-bounces and obstacle courses, a variety of carnival style games, designing Lag Ba’Omer frisbees, touring a vintage ’70s ambulance, and a delicious BBQ.

After the activities, the children gathered for a grand rally of Pesukim, songs, and stories followed by a unique exotic animal show. The show featured animals such as an alligator, 10-foot long python, lemur, porcupine, ferret, and more.

A special thanks to the dedicated group of bochurim that helped greatly to make this program happen: Eli Brafman, Zalman Kavka, Avremel Flinkenstein, and Chaim Soussan.

Amidst the activities, parents also registered children and learned more information about the ongoing fun for children at Camp Gan Israel Boston during the upcoming summer months.
