Note From the Publisher

It gives me great pride and pleasure to introduce our seventh pullout Chol Hamoed Activity Guide. This Pesach’s

Guide is bigger and better; chock-full of all kinds of information for families and kids of all ages who are looking for great
activities, fun places to visit, concerts and entertainment over Chol Hamoed.

This year’s Activity Guide is something that our team has been working on for the past 6-8 weeks and we are proud to have it produced again as a separate, pull-out section for all to enjoy. Our staff and contributors worked hard to make sure that you will have many great ideas and places to go with your family over Chol Hamoed. And I am hoping that the weather this year will be warm and beautiful, which will hopefully only enhance your Chol Hamoed travels.

Special kudos to our guide editor, writer and contributor, Zachary (Zack) Greenberg, who again was a primary force in putting this year’s guide together, as well as to our Production Editor/Marketing Director,

Jennifer Hoffer, and Production/Marketing Assistant, Meir Popowitz.

As always, I welcome your feedback at [email protected].

Chag Sameach and have a wonderful Yom Tov!

-Moshe Kinderlehrer, Co-Publisher

Please make sure to call ahead to confirm that the activities are open and available as days and times are subject to change.
