  • Several Israeli ministers and Knesset members participated in the event.
  • Minister Ben-Gvir and police received an award for their support.
  • The celebration featured music by Namoal Harush and Beni Laufer's orchestra.

Over 12,000 people, including residents and guests from across Israel, celebrated Hakafot Shniyot (Second Hakafot) in Kfar Chabad, dancing until the early morning hours. The traditional event, organized annually by the Kfar Chabad Committee, featured music by Chasidic singer Namoal Harush and the orchestra of Beni Laufer, who led the crowd in spirited dancing and Chasidic joy.

Among the notable attendees were Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir, Minister of Education Yoav Kisch, Minister of the Negev, Galilee and National Resilience Yitzhak Wasserlauf, Director General of the Ministry of Interior Yisrael Ozen, Members of Knesset Yitzhak Goldknopf and Simcha Rothman, and R' Moti Babchik. They were warmly welcomed by the Chairman of the Kfar Chabad Committee, Rabbi Shimon Rabinovitch, and participated in carrying Torah scrolls and dancing with the attendees.

Also present were the Head of the Sdot Dan Regional Council, David Yifrah, and his deputy, R' Binyamin Lifshitz. During the event, a certificate of appreciation was presented to Minister Ben-Gvir and senior officials from the Central District Police for their assistance in organizing Hakafot Shniyot and their ongoing support for the security needs of Kfar Chabad.

The police officials present included District Commander Amir Cohen, Head of the Rishon LeZion station Gili Elhadad, and other police officers.
