The annual Lag Bomer parade was attended by over 3000 children and parents. The parade was lead by the marching band of the Chais Or Menachem boys school. They marched uniformly on the main street of Ashkelon to the indoor sport stadium.
Rabbi Lieberman warmly greeted the children and their parents and relayed the message of the importance of the study of the Torah.
The deputy executive of KZAA, Mr. E. Friedman who sponsored the advertisement for the parade by including safety instructions for lighting bonfires, addressed the children and encouraged their efforts in keeping the environment clean.
The mayor Mr. Beni Vaknin was proud to attend the magnificent gathering honoring Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai.
Rabbi Gorelik, who coordinates and organizes the programs and the parade in the city, spoke about the merit of attending the parade since Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai is also here blessing each and everyone.
The program began with the performance of the school band, followed by children from different schools reciting 12 Torah passages, a special soap bubbles shoe and great raffle prizes.
The parents and children thanked Chai for the tremendous investment and dedication for the wonderful event.
