From Kumzitz to Zoomzitz with Sandton Central
What happens when your shul’s annual Lag B’Omer Kumzitz gathering can’t take place because of lockdown? Naturally, you arrange a Zoomzitz instead.

Chabad’s Sandton Central Shul has attracted people from all over to its bustling bonfire, braai, and Kumzitz entertainment in the past. Not allowing coronavirus to put a stop to this, Rabbi Ari and Batya Kievman contacted musician Rephael Perkel, who generously came on board. Community members brought their home braais to Zoom, roasting marshmallows, and sharing in the celebrations with songs, stories, and camaraderie.
