BROOKLYN, NY — It doesn’t happen every day, but students attest that its effects can last a lifetime.
This weekend, more than 800 Jewish college students and recent alumni from across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom will gather in Crown Heights, N.Y., for a unique cultural immersion that has become the highlight of social calendars at scores of campuses. A mix between inspirational discussions, spiritual explorations and good, old-fashioned Shabbat foods like gefilte fish, this year’s seventh annual Chabad on Campus International Shabbaton & Conference will draw delegations from more than 100 universities.
