Hatzolah and LFA job well done on that extrication . Keep up the good work
Was this program for all of Lakewood or only a few ? Should have included all children.
This program was for all children. The admission was $5. There was a dress code too. Long sleeves, and long skirts for women, long pants for men.
Also, no foul language was allowed.
The main attraction was a concert by Uncle Moishe, a famous singer geared for children. His tapes and concerts are geared towards teaching children about G-d’s commandments in the holy Torah, and how to be a good person. Many children the world over know all his songs in their sleep.
I can only assume that most children who were attracted to Uncle Moishe’s music (and their parents) were at the event today.
I’m assuming that any children who didn’t attend was because they either never heard of Uncle Moishe, or because they don’t like Uncle Moishe’s music.
Well said, Yid, as usual.
I’m not Jewish and have attended…. everyone is friendly and its alot of fun for $5.00 ….. its people who judge events from a distance… stop the hate and enjoy life.
it was awsome
