11 Jewish and public schools attended the annual Lag B’Omer parade and day fair in Montreal, Quebec, in a larger-than-previous-years event.
Organized by Rabbi Moshe Cohen, the parade featured floats promoting Torah and the Jewish way of life. Chabad Dayan Rabbi Berel Bell addressed the crowd on this theme.
Participants of all ages marched from the Beth Rivkah Girls Academy to the Vesina park nearby, accompanied by a band of drummers conducted by Yossi Rosenblum and Moshe Minsky.
Rabbi Yosef Minkowitz, the principal of Beth Rivkah, and Rabbi Dovid Cohen, an educator who served as the day’s MC, were seen dancing with the clowns.
At the park, rides and other amusements awaited the children. Food and prizes were given out too, part of a contribution of several companies.

HOW COME SEM GOT NO RECOGNITION??? THEY ALSO WORKED HARD … MAYBE EVEN HARDER THAN US !!
The parade was amazing event. Needs a bit better organization, but a true Kiddush Hashem. Many schools participated. Amazing. Thank you for a job well done.
Now if we could only do such great improvements on our Mesivta (and Yeshiva) – what a place this would be!!
Any suggestions?? We are down to 1 class for Mesivta. Why?? Cuz Hanhola doesn’t care what happens to everyone else!! Great job eh??
for those who do not know, BCMS mentionned throughout the comments is Bais Chaya Mushka Seminary of Montreal. They made all the car floats, signs, snack bags, ballons, and much much more.
and to #28, we do not put ourselves on display, veda”l
Yes indeed, this parade was amazing. Avrohom Zirkind your Big Ben was done really well. Good job! Keep up the good work.

Being a native montrealer.. my greatest memories was the lag baomer parade ! Rabbi minkowitz , rabbi Cohen all of these great Man show us every day what it means to be true EMES Rabbi’s they are genuine ppl who all they want to do is to do what the rebbe taught!!!!
Allot of ppl can say montreal is cold but the warmth of the people makes up for it!!!

Everything at the parade was beautiful, a great Kiddush Hashem. A Yasher Koach to Rabbi Cohen and family.
The Yeshiva boys marching band was a real hit and on the beat ! Thank you Yossi Rosenblum , Moshe Minsky and all of the drummers.
Special thanks to Father and DL Ehrentrei and the Zal Bochurim for the eye catching float.

The guys made the float! I am so impressed with their hidden talents! Those buildings on the float are out of this world! to#25, the parade was from VeZina Park to Van Horne Park. Beautiful!
Its not a far walk from Bais Rivka to Vezina Park, actually, its just across the street, so how do you parade from bais rivka to vezina park? and #23 – watch your language, i wasnt there last year, but saw pics of it, and yes it looked pretty amazing, but this years pics look even better! and yes it was in van horne park last year, but years ago it was in kent. I love Lag B’omer in montreal, working on the float is the best part!!! BCMS – keep it up! Thanks Rabbi Dahan for letting the girls… Read more »
This is amazing, looks much bigger and better than previous years – a police motorcycle contingent, clowns, train for the kids, and was that an acrobat show on top of a float? wasnt sure from the pics, but whatever it was, it looked awesome!!!! i like the new idea of signs on the cars, and bikes, kinda like car menorahs!
so BCMS – which float was yours? im guessing the hakhel one with the symbolic building of each country, cuz it looks so proffesh, it must have been the girls!!! am i right?
