Lag B’Omer at Cheder Chabad Florida is always a very special day, and this year’s celebration brought the entire Cheder family together for a beautiful program filled with Achdus, Simcha, and tremendous energy.

The day opened with a beautiful rally bringing together the entire student body together with their parents. Emceed by Rabbi Zash Itkin, the program highlighted 50 years since the Rebbe’s establishment of the Yud Beis Pesukim, with specially prepared videos of the Rebbe from Lag B’Omer rallies of years past.

The rally featured a lively concert by Aryeh Leib Hurwitz, with music by Chony Teitelbaum, and the children sang and danced along with tremendous Geshmak. A fascinating BMX stunt show followed.
The highlight of the day was the grand Lag B’Omer parade. Each class had prepared stunning floats in the days leading up to Lag B’Omer, with most of the floats centered around the Yud Beis Pesukim in honor of 50 years since the Rebbe first introduced them. The main Boulevard outside the Cheder was blocked off, allowing the children to march proudly down the street with their floats, banners, and songs.

Following the parade, the celebration continued with a family fair featuring rides, games, and a barbecue, a beautiful event that brought the Cheder community together.

“The Rebbe established the Yud Beis Pesukim 50 years ago so that every Yiddishe child would carry these foundational Yesodos with him,” shared Rabbi Aharon Matusof, Dean of Cheder Chabad Florida. “To watch our Talmidim and Talmidos march today with such Chayus and Shtolz, and to see our parents looking on with such Nachas, it was simply a wow moment, the Rebbe’s vision coming alive before our eyes.”

A Yasher Koach to the Rebbeim, Morahs, and staff who poured their hearts into making the day a success, and to the parent volunteers and sponsors whose help made the event possible.
