Chabad of Greater Daytona hosted a Mega Chanukah event on Dec. 10 to honor and celebrate Chanukah.
The event offered various outdoor activities such as rock climbing, bungee jumping, bounce houses, an obstacle course, train rides, and a petting zoo.
The event also offered personalized caricature drawings, an LED light show, a live concert from Jewish singer, Shuky Sadon and a menorah lighting and prayer by Rabbi Asher Farkash and Eric Pekarsky.
Gili’s Kitchen held a booth for hungry guests with all Kosher options. When rain came, Farkash handed out jelly donuts inside the Chabad center while guests waited for the weather to clear.
