Tzvika Cohen, the Department Head of the adult programming, opened the evening's event and announced that throughout the night, periodically, 15 chapters of Tehilim would be recited corresponding to Seeach Sod's 15 main schools and programs. The audience recited 15 chapters of Tehilim throughout the many hours of dancing and as they did, pictures of the schools/programs were visually displayed on the main stage, so that the audience could see with their own eyes what the Tehilim was being said for!

The enormous rooftop metamorphosed into a grand Sukkah with included thousands of men dancing as well as hundreds of seats on bleachers for women and children to sit. There was entertainment throughout the evening of professional jugglers, men who did tricks with fire and dressed in elaborate costumes.
The families, staff, neighbors, supporters and friends of Seeach Sod danced and danced, with electricity in the air, for hours and it went down in history as one of the most incredible Simchas Beis Hashuava's ever to have been experienced at Seeach Sod.
In truth, the pictures say it all!
