Crafts Fair (with photos below)
Over 1000 people attended Chabad’s pre-Chanukah crafts fair at SM Place last Sunday.
From the children making their own dreidels and Menorahs out of empty bullet shells, to the olive-oil press demonstration, over to the “Taste a Latke” stand and the booth for donning Tefillin and receiving Chanukah Menorah and candles, there was something for everyone at this festive event.
With Chassidic music playing in the background, Rabbi Isaac Levitansky of SM Chabad invited mall-shoppers to stop by and get a taste of Chanukah. “This is the way they made olive oil back in the days when the Chanukah miracle happened,” he said. Those who gathered around were able to see exactly how it was pressed, first into olive juice and then the oil extracted from that, and for those that stayed around a little longer, the oil produced was lit in a Menorah.
