The Grand Chanukah Cruise organized by Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz, the Shliach of Chabad Lubavitch of Southwest Florida was a huge success.
The Grand Chanukah Cruise featured a fully catered dinner with a sushi bar, drinks and fresh Chanukah doughnuts.
Live music was played by by the new Jewish band “The Big Yarmulkes” headed by Avi Dahan, Avi Gev, David Perez, Gershon Hayes and Sasha Zukerman, all members of the Fort Myers Jewish Community.
As the adults enjoyed the food and the entertainment, a full program was held for children that included Photo Booth, Clowns, Face Painting and Magic Show.
The highlight was the lighting of the Grand Menorah on the Gulf of Mexico followed by music and dancing.
The children of Maimonides Hebrew Day School performed a choir directed by Shliach Rabbi Simon Jacobson of Chabad of Charlotte county.
As everyone left the cruise they received a $2 bill as Chanukah Gelt from Rabbi Minkowicz.

Hatzlacha Rabah!!!
