A Lot of Laughs & A Lot of Fun

Areyvut’s Mitzvah Clown Training a Great Success!

 

 Mitzvah Clowning
On December 20th (the first snowy day on the East Coast) Areyvut facilitated our first ever Mitzvah Clown Training!  With roughly 20 participants “All Ears” and “Venus”, the Mitzvah Clown trainers ran the show and taught the group how to apply clown make-up, make balloon animals and speak with hospital patients and senior citizens.
Once the training was complete, the entire group took their show on the road to CareOne at Teaneck, a local senior residence.  The Mitzvah ClowningMitzvah Clowns and senior citizens had a wonderful time!  Facilitated by Daniel Rothner, Areyvut’s Founder  & Director, many of the newest Mitzvah Clowns have continued their good work and have since entertained Yachad members and plan on continuing their friendly visits on a monthly basis.
Check out our pictures and video from this event!
