Chabad of Palm Beach Gardens recently observed the fast of Tisha B’Av, the saddest day on the Jewish calendar, in the most memorable and positive way possible.
Chabad believes that keeping a healthy body is a holy endeavor, so at the very end of the Tisha B’Av services and after 24 hours of fasting, those in attendance dropped down into push-up position for the first Chabad of Palm Beach Gardens Iron Man contest.
After 62 pushups there was only one man still on the ground. The winner of this year’s Tisha B’Av Iron Man contest was Frank Solomon, who received a personalized Chabad of PBG trophy and was crowned an Iron Man for being fit in both body and in soul.
