The Incredible Chanukah Menorah Car Parade

Binghamton is still talking about the scores of cars bedecked with giant Menorahs that rode caravan style through the streets of downtown Binghamton and Vestal, and through the BU campus on Sunday, the first night of Chanukah. The parade culminated on campus with a grand outdoor Chanukah Menorah lighting and party on the spine. It was a night of joy and pride, great light and lots and lots of fun. UNFORGETTABLE!

Aside from the huge Chanukah Celebrations Chabad hosted community parties in each dorm bringing refreshments, holiday cheer and warm comradeship throughout Chanukah.

For the third year, President Stenger hosted a Chanukah Party for the Jewish community at Binghamton. Warm words, delicious treats, and a performance by Kaskeset made for a delightful time enjoyed by all.

Defying all odds and beating the organizer's totally outrageous goal, this year's Toy Drive raised more than $16,000 worth of toys to be distributed to children with cancer in NY area hospitals through Chai Lifeline.
The event featured an eye- popping display of the toys, a Menorah Lighting Ceremony, a spirited performance by the Crobys, greetings from a Chai Lifeline administrator and of course, donuts and Starbucks. What a celebration!

Students of the Raff Maasim Tovim Foundation visited area nursing homes and brought Chanukah treats and cheer to residents. These students visit nursing homes weekly to spend time with residents.

It was a busy festival!
Light (lit Menorahs) and Oil (in the form of latkes and doughnuts) abounded and were enjoyed by one and all.

Midnight Madness is exactly what it sounds like: students gathering at Chabad at midnight and beyond to enjoy breakfast and bonding with their friends who are all looking to take a break and enjoy a delicious distraction from the "madness" of finals!

The new semester began with sweetness as students gathered for a Tu B'shvat Seder enjoying the chocolate fountain, a large selection of fruit and thought provoking ideas to nourish the spirit.

Hundreds of students celebrated being back in Binghamton for the Spring semester at Chabad's Sushi event. The Sushi, soups, salads and desserts were a hit but the real excitement was generated by the pervasive sense of community.
