The Chabad of the Five Towns celebrated the Jewish holiday of Succos with its Simchas Bais Hashoeva part at Andrew J. Parise Cedarhurst Park on Monday.

The two-hour event included Asmra DJ, dancing, giveaways and a performance by award-winning juggler Michael Karas.

Succos is weeklong fall harvest festival that commemorates the ancient Hebrews nomadic life in the desert after escaping enslavement in Egypt. Families and friend celebrate inside a man-made hut called a sukkah.
