Asher Joseph, 8, concentrated as he found new holds on the rock-climbing wall at Rosen JCC’s second annual Hanukkah Fest. Slowly, steadily, he found a route all the way to the top.
Twice.
The wall was just one of the activities at the festival, held Sunday, Dec. 7, at the Rosen JCC.
Guests enjoyed a full afternoon of latkes, pastries, food trucks, arts and crafts, music, a mobile game truck, and much more.
This event was sponsored by The Pargh Foundation, with support from IAC Keshet Israeli Family Experiences, IAC Israeli American Council, Jewish National Fund USA, PJ Library, Shalom Orlando, Nice Jewish Runners, Jewish Chamber of Commerce, SPARK and Southwest Orlando Jewish Congregation.
