Learning and Fun at Morristown Father-and-Son Event

Fathers of elementary students at Cheder Lubavitch Morristown joined their sons for a day of learning, barbeque, and outdoor sports at their annual father-and-son event.

The sun was shining brightly with a cool breeze in the air – the perfect weather for the annual Father-Son BBQ at the Cheder Lubavitch Morristown. The Berger Auditorium was packed with fathers and sons learning b’chavrusa. There were options available that included a sicha from the Rebbe, ma’amer from the Alter Rebbe, and stories from the Frierdiker Rebbe – all material to prepare for the upcoming Yom Tov, Shavuos. Afterward, everyone moved outdoors to attend a delicious BBQ picnic on the grounds of the Rabbinical College of America.  

At the BBQ, Rabbi Baruch Hecht shared an incredible story and had the entire audience enthralled. Then followed a rally with pesukim led by Rabbi Mendel Dubov. The pesukim were said and repeated with vigor and all there had the heartfelt prayers for peace in Eretz Yisroel and safety of our soldiers and return of the hostages on their thoughts.

The apex of the afternoon was the lighthearted father-son activities that took place around the outdoor sports facilities conveniently located around the RCA campus. Team Fleishig triumphed over Team Milichig in a close game of 6 goals to 5 in the 2, 3, 4th grade soccer game. While the baseball diamond did get competitive, in a turn of events, the fathers emerged as the proud winners of this year’s baseball game. The day wrapped up with mincha and early dismissal. 

Cheder Lubavitch Morristown Boys is located in Morristown, New Jersey and is surrounded by an aura of academic and Torah excellence as one of the many institutions on the sweeping Rabbinical College of America Campus. The high-level learning is further enhanced by the large outdoor campus, nurturing the competitive and energetic spirit of our boys.

Under the strong leadership of Rabbi Ari Wilschanski over the past fourteen years, Cheder Morristown has gained recognition as a distinguished institution. The school attracts melamdim who are dedicated and capable, providing authentic chassidishe chinuch with modern techniques and understanding.
