SHELTON – The opportunity to learn in a fun, meaningful, and entertaining way is on the horizon.
Shelton will celebrate its diversity through a new music and cultural event, the Shelton Jewish Festival. The festival offers a unique recognition of the music, traditions, and foods that Jewish people celebrate and enjoy.
The event will be held on Sunday, June 12 from 1 to 3:00 p.m. at the Huntington Green in Shelton.
“The goal is to bring the region together for a joyful and fun-filled Jewish experience,” Rabbi Shneur Brook, who co-directs the Chabad Jewish Center of Shelton with his wife Leah Brook, said.
The festival will feature family entertainment and traditional Jewish foods, including kosher deli and potato knishes. Admission, music, and kids activities will be at no charge. The food will be for sale.
Headlining the music portion of the festival will be a Jewish Klezmer Band, playing music that will bring an upbeat message of love and joy. “What better way to come together as a community,” Brook said. “This festival is open to all, and there will be something to enjoy for everyone.”
To prepare accordingly, the organizers request that those wishing to attend the Shelton Jewish Festival please register for their FREE tickets in advance by visiting: www.SheltonJewishFestival.com — vendors, crafters, organizations, and artists are invited to sign up as well to have a booth at the festival.
The festival will highlight a message of optimism and positivity, as taught by the Rebbe — Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory, the most influential rabbi in modern history. “The Rebbe taught us to live positively and to recognize an opportunity for growth in every situation,” Brook said. “We’re excited to share this message as our community continues to grow and blossom.”
