Almost sixty people joined together for a great Lag Baomer Celebration this week. Featuring a great BBQ with some awesome grilling by Dan & Misha Perlov, a Lag Baomer Bonfire with some songs around the fire, a Moon Bounce for the kids where they could jump and have a blast, and lots of great company, it made for an awesome celebration.
Thank you to everyone for your help with cleanup, food prep, grilling and photos (Kerry Weinstein) and for coming.

This past Sunday May 22nd, the fifty students of the Chabad Hebrew School of Sudbury celebrated the completion of another year of learning and fun. The celebration featured presentations by each of the Hebrew School classes, the awarding of certificates to each student to mark their accomplishments and learning, and speeches by the Hebrew School Director, Shayna Freeman and presentations to the teachers and volunteers.
Growing up in London, in addition to my own parents and grandparents, I had no shortage of role models to learn from in the community where I was raised. Among them was a man named Mr. Bentzion Shagalow who not only exemplified values that are dear to me until this day, but he was also very close to my parents and family.
