Unbelievable—the first word that comes to mind after seeing how the Hatzalah of the Jersey Shore Carnival was put together. It was filled with many fun and exciting community events, making it one of the greatest days of hesed this community has ever seen.
For those that may not know, Jersey Shore Hatzalah is an independent organization with dedicated volunteers who serve their patients during sickness, emergencies and accidents. After years of serving their patients, the volunteers decided that they want to give more to them and to the community. After brainstorming countless ways to bring joy to the children of our community, the idea of the Jersey Shore Hatzalah Carnival was born.
The carnival featured activities for all ages, including rides, ambulance tours with the EMTs, games, prizes, a petting zoo and face painting. There was even a 200 foot long zip line, which brought about even more smiles to children’s faces as they got to ride down from one end of the massive JCC field to the other.
