Chabad of Mequon Hosts Shabbaton

Chabad of Mequon’s Center for Jewish Life hosted its annual winter Shabbaton, featuring scholar in residence, Rabbi Manis Friedman, and special guest Chazan and performer, Sholom Jacobs.

Over 200 guests attended the annual Shabbaton, at the luxurious Osthoff Resort in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.

The weekend retreat was organized by the dedicated Shluchim in Mequon who welcomed families from Mequon and the surrounding communities, along with guests from as far away as Chicago.

It was a beautiful weekend of inspiring lectures, delicious catered meals, excellent programs for the children and true unity and achdus.

The guests were particularly transformed and inspired by the beautiful words of engaging and gifted scholar, Rabbi Manis Friedman.

A beautiful Melave Malka on Motzoei Shabbos featured a concert by Sholom Jacobs, a member of Chabad of the 5 Towns.

Recently returning from his Chanukah tour in Europe, Jacobs performed both traditional and contemporary melodies and nigunin joined by both his son Shmuel, as well as gifted accompanist and arranger Avraham Zamist.

“What a treat to see the children and adults joining in and singing and dancing to the beautiful performance,” one participant said.
