Misameach families spent a beautiful fun-filled evening aboard a luxury cruise ship on the Hudson River, where they experienced a much-needed dose of joy, entertainment and inspiration. The cruise featured hot food, singers, jugglers and clowns. The music, singing, dancing and geshmake ruach were enjoyed by young and old.
The beautiful weather and the stunning views added to the experience. The volunteers sang and danced nonstop. The energy on the boat was palpable. Misameach’s annual cruise has become a highlight for the participating families, who look forward to it all year.
Volvi Brown, Aisle 9 and Unlimited Pure Water, who sponsored this year’s cruise, as well as the dozens of volunteers, food sponsors, singers, entertainers and producers, all went above and beyond to make this cruise special. Liberty Landing Marina and their courteous staff were helpful and instrumental in getting the cruise off to a great start. The medical team on board was headed by Dr. Zemel, who was assisted by Simcha Shain and Ozer Dessler. Rabbi Dovid Goldwasser gave parents and children chizuk. Beri Weber, Joey Newcomb, Yehuda Green, Yiddy Bialostozky, and Uncle Moishy sang and entertained the families on the cruise for hours. Music was provided by the Zaltz Band, headed by Shloimy Zaltzman, Chezky Herzog and Yeedle Friedman.
Stellar Productions lent the sound system and Tal Levy was the sound engineer. They worked together to make the entertainment run smoothly.
Shuie Nadoff and his juggling acts were super. Yossi Rosenthal took pictures of the families, making lasting memories pro bono with his Magnet Memory.
Volunteers spent hours setting up the event. Hot supper was served to all, sponsored by Glatt Gourmet, Epstein’s Meats, A Cut Above Events, and Glatt Bite, with delicious dessert sponsored by Klein’s Ice Cream. Snacks were sponsored by Golden Fluff and Gelbstein’s Bakery.
There were snow cones, crafts, and face painting for the children, and gift bags for each family.
The 2022 Misameach Cruise was spectacular, an event that the families will remember for a long time.
