Kevin, we're here with the state senator
Sam Sutton here in the 18th Avenue Park
Erv Sukus. Now, every year we know the
Barak JCC AI Greenstein executes a
beautiful extravaganza here on 18th
Avenue for the whole community. Sukus,
it was never done yet. It was always
Pesak. Now, everybody always begs, why
don't we do a sukus? And the answer is
>> money. It costs money. A lot of money.
>> A lot of money.
>> And this year,
>> so this year I went over to the Senate
leadership. I said, "We have families in
Burough Park, big families, and it's
cost prohibitive for them to take their
children to New Jersey someplace. Why
should I want them to go to New Jersey?
I want to be able to entertain them here
in Burough Park where every family kind
of a family with six, eight, 10 children
could afford to have a wonderful day and
make the holiday a real holiday.
This is a sukus more than any other
holiday
and I want every family in Borough Park
to be able to celebrate that the right
way. So
we're going to bring the whole crowd
that comes the whole
from from
Uncle Mishi petting zoo horses rides
magicians the whole works. Thanks to Avi
Greenston and his team, the Burbach JCC.
Uh we're gonna have a wonderful day and
this is this year it's going to be the
fourth day. Thursday, October 1st from
12 to 5. We are going to have a
wonderful day. And please, I want all of
you to join us. Please mark it down on
your calendars. The kids are going to
have
>> to mark it down. They're waiting for the
day. The kids are reminding them, Tati,
mommy, Thursday, we got to go to the to
to the beautiful extravaganza. And I
want to tell you one thing. Last year me
and Avi from the bar JC went around and
asked people how much did you spend
yesterday on Kalamoy trip. You know what
it cost today a family trip? Give a
number six flags. A guy has seven
children. What does it cost him?
>> So that day I don't think it could be
less than $800.
>> Exactly. A ticket is 75 bucks. Gas and
tolls, food and everything. You took
about $800 for just to take one day of
family. Today the economy, people don't
have money. And what you do for the
community, Sam, by sponsoring this
beautiful sukus extravaganza is unreal.
On sukusa,
there's food here, these rides, there's
entertainment from morning to night. The
kids are busy and you bring out the
beauty of the community here. It's so
nice, so pleasant.
>> It's wonderful. So the truth is the
first thing I was able to do was for the
mistas to make sure the state would not
interfere with our education. We know
what we're doing. That was victory
number one. And this is going to be
victory number three.
>> What's number two?
>> Number two was something wonderful. The
governor agreed to give us a 2-year
moratorum for all of New York City on
child on priority five. So we're going
to continue to have the child services
everyone where both parents are working.
That was a very very huge success that
Simka Simka and myself worked at
>> and uh and God willing this is going to
be another wonderful event. So we're
trying to help and uh thank you for your
support.
>> I just want to show the crowd over here
where it's going to be. Let's go on the
avenue over here. The extravaganza takes
place from 55th Street all the way 55th
Street gets blocked off. Actually 54th
Street it gets blocked off all the way
to 59th and even 60th. So it's massive.
You're talking about the whole 18th
Avenue. Rides, balloons, shows, all
shows all day long. Food, entertainment,
face painting, um arcades they have over
here from Banana Blast. It's just the
petting zoo is usually right here. It is
unbelievable. the the and I the to be
the MC and to greet the crowd and to
welcome the crowd and to thank the you
know the the barrack JCC and Sam S will
be I hope we'll see you there.
>> You're going to see me there and I'm
going to try to be everybody's favorite
sardi. [laughter]
>> We love the Sardim. All right. So before
we finish I want to thank Samelder
Samstein and of course Avi Greenstein um
from the Barbara JCC who execute such a
beautiful production every single year

Felder was the first to start this idea
