Synagogue to host family farm event

Congregation B’nai Israel of Rumson (CBI) will host a day of old-fashioned family entertainment from noon to 3:30 p.m. Oct. 26 at Congress Hill Farm, 118 Federal Road, Monroe.

The event will take place rain or shine, and feature a lineup of activities the whole family can enjoy, including a kosher-style barbecue, outdoor sports, hayrides, nature trails for walking/biking, pony rides, handson feeding and grooming of horses, a zipline, outdoor rope course and more.

Robyn Etzler, co-chair of CBI’s membership committee, said in a press release, “We are looking forward to having a day to just mingle and relax with our members, friends and neighbors. Congress Hills Farm is a 200- acre hidden gem, and I am thrilled that everyone will be able to experience this unique setting this fall.”

Co-chair Lester Mallet added that while it is a family day, adults without kids or grandkids will enjoy it, as well.

“Congress Hill Farm is fascinating. … We will have guided tours of the facilities and grounds as well as a talk about vegetable gardening,” he said.

Registration is required by Oct. 23. The cost is $18 per family for CBI members and $36 for nonmember families.
