- Devoted staff and volunteers of the Lakewood-based Chai4ever joined with families to celebrate Sukkot with two events. One was at the Stratosphere Trampoline Park in Hainesport, where volunteers built a sukkah, and a second at ISC Mount Laurel’s indoor roller-skating rink and amusement park. Chai4ever, which reserved both venues exclusively, provides help and support to local New Jersey families that include a parent diagnosed with cancer or other chronic or life-threatening illness.
