Hundreds of children and their parents gathered together in front of 770 Wednesday evening for a viewing of the Rebbe’s Lag B’omer parade.
On Eastern Parkway, at the exact spot where the actual parade took place, schoolchildren from all over Crown Heights joined together to watch a Lag B’Omer parade and the Rebbe’s talk.

A special raffle was made on a coin minted for the 1990 Lag B’omer parade.
This event is the culmination of a successful year for Connection Point, a JEM initiative that now has 37 schools worldwide engaged. Connection Point encourages children to watch and listen to the Rebbe, and provides the tools necessary for them to understand. The children watch the video, answering questions as they go, and then enter into a raffle for some great prizes.
