Young Professionals mingled and had a great time drinking from the open bar, eating gourmet food and lighting the coolest donut menorah. Friendships were formed, relationships established and meetings set in place ;-) - Lyor Cohen of WMG lit the Menorah and the Menorah then served as a backdrop for some cool pics. |

Rosh Hashana with Chabad ic at the Marriott was beautiful. The first night there were 100 adults and kids at the Holiday dinner. We enjoyed holiday songs and foods and a beauiful dinner. During the day, shul was packed... During services there were talks explaining the prayers etc. and there were two simultaneous children's programs. The older kids run by Dina and a Mummy & Me one by Shevy. After services there were Kiddush. Tashlich was incredible. Joining other jews on the East river, all coming together and meeting there. Rabbi Vigler spoke about the service and blew the Shofar. Yom Kippur the Shul was packed- we have out grown the Mariott. A break fast buffet was well attended. |

After the 10 commandments were 'recieved' by many children and adults... we were greeted with a most magnificant display of exquisite cheesecakes, such a large variety of deliciousness... And all flavor Ice Creams, toppings, syrups and different cones.. with such a selection it was hard to know what to choose.
We also had the opportunity to witness first hand a family give their thanks to
G-d for the miracle of keeping them safe when the crane hit the building on 91st & 1st. |

As we neared the party room the music & smell of fresh popcorn greeted us from afar; as we entered we received bows and arrows. Outdoors there was an entertianer who amused us with cool juggling acts, stilt walking, balloon art making and more..
There was a large variety of bbq style foods.. hot dogs on a roller and buns- schwarma, chicken kebabs, salads, and lots more.. of course there were marshmellow kebabs and fruit kebabs too... we all had a fun time in and out- doors and celebrated lag b'omer in true style! |

Imagine 140 people, singing and dancing in unity to the Pesach songs. That was the Pesach Seder held at Ohr hachaim social hall. The children got to participate and all adults had the opportunity to participate - reading different parts of the Haggadah, singing the traditional songs etc. We heard the mah nishtana from the children, heard wonderful, interesting explanations on the Pesach Seder and Hagaddah and sang and dance and spent the Chag with people who felt like our family for the night.
(the food wasn't too bad either;-)) |

Ching Chang Chong!
Purim had everything in the Oriental Theme. Those dressed up in the Purim spirit received great Chinese fans and Chinese Graggers.
The decor of the room was Chinese - We felt like we had been transformed to somewhere in the Far East. There was a delicious array of Chinese foods (including fortune cookies) and a LIVE Sushi Bar (it was cool watching them make the Sushi) There was a Chinese artist writing all the names in Chinese (who knew that a bunch of symbols was my name in Chinese??) There was an Open Bar with Adults and Children's drinks. |

Chanukah on ICE was a cool event, literally and figuratively.
We had an ICE Menorah - sculptured and then lit. Ice Decorations and Ice Sculpture centerpieces.
We got to see how Olive oil is made- from our very own Judah the Macabbe, who also told us about the story of the oil. We got to actually, hands on- make the oil.
We danced, sang the Chanukah Songs after the Menorah was lit, and ate the best doughnuts in NYC. We had a super time!

A Sukkah in the Sky- literally (well almost)!!!
A Sukkah on a roof- overlooking the Manhattan skyline - that was a once in a life opportunity to see!
There were different types of soups (carrot & Ginger won hands down!!) and different types of cheeses & croutons, salads and kids menu!! What a great atmosphere- (the weather helped too). With live music and popular kid’s entertainer- BobbyDoowah and kids Sukkot crafts. The neighbors in the building came to see what all the action was about!! It was a great day with lots of shaking of the Lulav & Etrog.

The atmosphere of services and kiddushim over Rosh Hashana held at the Marriott on 92nd St. was warm, inspiring and uplifting. There was a community feel all around as people mingled and prayed! The first night of Rosh Hashana there was a community dinner with over 80 people (including kids) present. It was a beautiful evening, eating the traditional foods, hearing inspiring words from guests and of course singing holiday songs! During the day there were 'user friendly' services - with explanations and tidbits of information and stories in between & of course kids programs for those that needed. After services there was a great Kiddush! The Tashlich service there were over 50 people. |
