  • Yeshiva University's First Chanukafest a Success, Fills Max Stern Athletic
    DECEMBER 28, 2015 Volume LXXXI The Independent Student Newspaper of Yeshiva College, Sy Syms School of Business, and Yeshiva University • www.yucommentator.org Issue 5 Yeshiva University’s First Chanukafest A Success, Fills Max Stern Athletic Center By Noam Feifel The third night of Chanukah saw over 800 of YU and Stern students fill the Max Stern Athletic Center on the Wilf Campus for the first ever Chanukafest. The event took the place of the usual holiday-in- spired Chanukah concert that served as the primary co-ed Chanukah celebration for a number of years at YU, but whose attendance had declined in recent years. ChanukaFest was a novel proposal from the seven student council committees of the Wilf and Beren campuses that orchestrated and executed it. The carnival-themed event comprised various booths set up across the lively, crowded room. En- ergetic students could be seen playing Chanukah- spirited games, snacking on the free food, socializing with old friends, and making new ones amid all the excitement. “I can tell a lot of work went into plan- ning this,” observed sophomore Noah Frankel at the event. “I’d say it’s paying off too. There are so many things to do! This is a great Chanukah party.” The main attraction of the night, though, was the mesmerizing dance moves showcased by street per- forming and former America’s Got Talent duo, Tic and Tac, who performed two different acts at the fest. Both acts drew an animated crowd of students, who flocked towards center-court and huddled around to watch the performers deftly execute their acrobatic stunts.
