Aliso Viejo Ice Palace was a place for entertainment and learning Tuesday for children who are part of the Mission Viejo Chabad Jewish community.
“We put on this event during the holidays to help strengthen Jewish pride,” Bassie Marcus, Director of the Chabad in Mission Viejo, said, adding that Jewish traditions often get overshadowed by Christmas.

“The best part of this event is that we can learn to skate with friends and good times,” says Rachael Reeves, 12.
The event was $ 12 per person and included refreshments, hot coco and the chance to skate at the Jewish music.
Chabad of Mission Viejo-sponsored activities are open to all members of the community, said Rabbi Zaleman Marcus.
He said: “You do not have to be Jewish to celebrate the holidays”. “As Hanukkah celebrations are for everyone, regardless of religion.”
Marcus has taught a lesson on the rink and Hanukkah by regarding knowledge light.
“When you see people struggling on the ice rink, share your given knowledge and help, so you can share a good time,” he said.
Ultimately, many of the children, such as Dove Canyon resident Ryan MacDonald, 13, concluded that see friends fall on the ice was the most fun part of the evening.
