Chanukah Celebration A Hit in Port Washington
Chanukah took on a new beat at a recent celebration at Community Synagogue in Port Washington.
At the event, Sara Shonfeld, ownerand founder of Musical Minds, entertained families with a percussion and movement program. The evening began with the lighting of the menorah candles followed by pizza dinner and a make-your-own edible dreidel from marshmallows and pretzels.
Shonfeld supplied dozens of drums, tambourines and other musical instruments so that every child and adult had something to bang, hit or shake. Sometimes she counted as she drummed, other times she sang a Chanukah song, providing a musical experience rich in rhythm and teamwork.

Don’t you wish every child was as happy as this one?
The cutie in blue was having a whale of a time in his Musical Minds class in Levittown, New York with his classmates and teacher Sara Shonfeld.
This little guy found his music class hilariously funny and laughed the whole way through much to the amusement of parents watching who took out a phone and started filming.

It’s impossible to watch this video and not crack a smile! One little boy got the giggles during a music class, and his laughter soon proved infectious, amusing not only his classmates but his teacher too.
The boy, who was sat at the front of the group with a friend, was particularly eager to participate in the class and called out “Yes!” when the teacher asked if they were ready.

This little boy is having the time of his life clapping to songs
It’s amazing, and sometimes distressing, to think about the lengths to which people will go in order to amuse themselves. If sufficiently desperate for distraction from the pain of everyday existence, human beings will voluntarily endanger themselves and others, all in the name of kicks. It’s almost as if entertainment itself is a drug to which people become resistant as they grow older and more jaded, so they need larger and stronger doses just to get a fraction of the high they once experienced so easily. Under such grim circumstances, it’s worthwhile to reflect back on those relatively carefree days of early childhood. Little kids have a knack for finding great entertainment value in extremely modest diversions. As a sterling example, look no further than this delightful YouTube video, in which a young man attending music class shows that there is nothing more fun in this world than clapping along to a simple acoustic folk song.
