Over 500 young Shluchim and Shluchos from around the world joined live for an interactive Hakhel Lag Baomer parade by the Chinuch Yaldei Hashluchim department of the Shluchim Office.
“My kids had a great time and loved it, from three years old to twelve years old,” said Mrs. Fraidy Hecht, Shlucha to Kelowna, BC. “The marching band and float contest was amazing, getting the kids involved and gearing up for the big day!”
Before the parade, the young Shluchim and Shluchos had the opportunity to create their own floats to be featured in the parade. Over 80 floats entered and were shown during the virtual parade, from lego creations to specialty cakes and decorated golf carts and cars.
The program was led by hosts Yisroel Uminer and Zali Lifshitz and began with the 12 Pesukim that were said by young Shluchim and Shluchos across the world who tuned in live and recited it with their families.
Before a grand raffle drawing, the children got to watch a special music video made just for them by the hosts and join in a virtual marching band.
Three raffles were drawn for all those who submitted a float, said a Possuk or joined the rally live. The prize winners are Mendel, Yossi and Levi Katz, Schneur Zalman Blesofsky, and Rochel Hecht
Special thank you to CYH director Rochel Goldman for arranging the beautiful program.
The Lag Baomer parade is a project of Chinuch Yaldei Hashluchim (CYH), a division of the Shluchim Office.
