These children were happy to get horseback pony-rides. Saratoga Chabad's
pink Menorah and the old-fashioned Circular Street streetlamp are visible

accomplished violinist, plays Chassidic and classical melodies, enhancing
the Sukkot festivity. |
Here Sussman
explains his violin and his music to two teenage girls - who are also
exciting to see the Sussman baby. |
It's a big
Mitzvah to eat in the Sukkah on Sukkot. A buffet of chicken, BBQ, salads
and more was served all afternoon. |

Making Edible Sukkah crafts out of graham crackers, marshmallow fluff, and
green sour-sticks was fun for young and old. |
 |
|
 |
| Many kids (and
even adults) tried their hands and feet on getting up the rock-climbing
wall. A 2nd floor Sukkah is visible in the background. |
|
The sheep and
goats were gentle enough for kids to play with them, feed them and pet
them. They were clean, easy-going and so soft! |

These bunnies were so soft, cuddly, gentle and relaxed. Kids were happy to
take turns holding them. |
