Dr Roberts we wanted to thank you for an amazing event! Everything was so well coordinated and the kids really enjoyed the shows, the treats and the zoo! Even though it seemed like a huge crowd the venue was very spacious and we got to fully enjoy it!
Thanks again!

#1 Yidden don’t speak in that way,we thank the Abisther. I didn’t go due to my concerns of tznius as too many men and women in close proximity in the Ir hatorah, in the Hasidish velt this would not be tolerated. In the heim in Europe before the Churban, families didn’t go on “outings” as that was bittul zman.

To Dr. Roberts, Thank you! Very nice program! Children loved it! Parking was easy! (As Dr. Roberts enjoys suggestions I will offer 2. 1.although there was a table where water was available, maybe there should be another one or two. 2. Maybe the program should all be in one tent and be continuous from one show to the next. I know the weather is unpredictable so maybe all in the tent, or why not the actual stadium. ) Once again thank you! and gut moed.

This year was the first time I went to the carnival and it was really great! It was run well with a lot of personnel to make everything run smoothly. The attractions were great! My kids loved it. Although many people may not agree with all of your ideas no one can argue that you have a spectacular thing going on over here and it is a tremendous Tovah and Chesed for everyone

@duvid, why is it okay to go to keansburg, six flags, science museum, diggerland etc where there are large families, men and women in close proximity??? Because it’s not in Lakewood??

Thank you

Dr Roberts, there are not enough words to thank you. Everyone agreed that this carnival was by far the most amazing well thought out and well coordinated event ever. Maybe more water stations would have been helpful but aside from that the carnival was just perfect – down to the smallest detail.

May you have the zechus to do this for many many more years and bring only simchas yom tov without financial stress to hundreds of families!

Keep your musar

Thank you Dr. Roberts for such a beautiful event! I and my children enjoyed immensely. It is an amazing Chessed that you do. Just one small point for future plans…Possibly the sinks to wash hands could be located near the bathrooms as it was a little challenging to get all the way back to the petting zoo after using the bathroom. On a different note,possibly bleachers can be used for the outdoor shows to enable more people to view the show. Once again, thank you so much! these are just a few ideas for minor improvements to an amazing setup

Dr Roberts,
Ditto that was was definitely the best carnival of all. My kids have been talking about it for days until yesterday finally arrived! We had a great great time. It was definitely obvious how much thought was put into each detail. As I said to the people I bumped into, we couldn’t have found a place anything like this with so much under one roof. The petting zoo … Over the top shows … So close to home! The prize and candy were the cherry on top. Now only did my kids love it, my husband and I enjoyed too!! Very very much appreciated!!

“Hakoras Hatov” and “Yehuda”, The whole event was free for you and your families, says a lot about both of you to complain about not enough water. Is it too much for you to bring your own ??????
Too, ” Thank You”, it’s a huge event and free, is it too much to ask you to walk to wash your hands ???? Bring your own baby wipes and sanitizer next time, problem solved !!! Sheesh people, come on, Dr. Roberts puts on this great “FREE” event, and you complain about petty stuff. How very ungrateful you all sound.

Thank you!

If you look at all 3 comments that you are referring to, they were all very appreciative of the great Chessed that Dr Roberts does by making the carnival. By giving some feedback, I don’t think that minimizes that in any way.how else would the organizers be aware of possible improvements that could be made? it is extremely beautiful event and an amazing chesed.

#1 to you all of us Lakewood residents thank the Abisther 3 times a day when we daven and make a brucha before and after we eat or drink so we don’t need to post it on the scoop although it is always nice to thank hashem for everything we have in public.
in contrast mr roberts isnt god so we take this opportunity to thank him in public for all of the good he does.
#2 WE ARE NOT HASIDISH so this isn’t just tolerated we consider it a kosher outlet for Lakewood family’s.
#3 why are you on the scoop wasting your time if you are so holy!!!!
thank you Mr Roberts fro all that you do you are a amazing a example for us!
