Fun for all at the Merrick Jewish Centre

Posted

The Merrick Jewish Centre recently hosted a Family Fun Day as part of its ongoing effort to bring Jewish families closer together in an old-fashioned spirit of neighborliness.

The house of worship takes in families from Merrick and Bellmore.

The Jewish Centre, which often holds family functions, put together a day full of music, games, crafts and face-painting for children and families.

Youngsters danced during a special party and later enjoyed a barbecue. During the festivities, Rabbi Ravid Tilles presented a special award to Adar Novak for her leadership, dedication and devotion to the Family Programming Committee and the Merrick Jewish Centre. With her husband, Jake, and two daughters, Yael and Jordan, by her side, Novak accepted the plaque and gift.
