On Thursday May 7th, the Traveling Troupe capped off their wonderful year with a final trip to the Young Israel of Flatbush Senior Center. With the help of its devoted members, the troupe has grown immensely since its creation last year by Michael Zalta. At this final trip, all branches of the troupe that developed during its growth (the original performing troupe, the mitzvah clowns, freshmen troupe, and dancers troupe), united together to perform and celebrate their unparalleled achievements.
The Traveling Troupe has always had a dual-significance: one for the audiences and one for the performers themselves. The joy brought to the sick and elderly on a weekly basis through our students' compassion and talents is overwhelming. But the euphoria and profundity that emerges from making the very personal and devout acts of chesed is something everlasting. The Troupe is saddened to say goodbye to its senior members but eager to see what next year has in store. ~Michael Zalta
