SUCCOT 2009: ALIYAH TO SHDEMA
Hundreds of families answered the call to go up to Shdema for Succot events, bringing lots and lots of children and youth with them. While the children were having a ball with the clowns and jugglers in one building, or climbing on the inflatables outside, adults enjoyed the klezmer music with Musa Berlin followed by a number of speakers. The classic was the humorous, heroic aliyah story related to the audience by Rabbi Yosef Mendelovitch.
The people behind the scenes deserve much honor for a memorable event the first day of Succot. Gemma Blech and Rivka Rybak displayed their photos which documents the last year and a half struggle for Shdema.
First-timers poured in from all over the country and outside of Israel. Others were the weekly loyalists, but all enjoyed the fun in the sun, and the Succah!
