Shabbos kicked off with Kabbolas Shabbos in 770, then went to several different homes for Shabbos meals, and later met up for a Farbrengen with Rabbi Chaim Miller and Rabbi Yossi Jacobson at the Rubashkins home where they Farbrenged into the night leading into Shacharis in the Oholei Torah Zal and Rabbi Chaim Miller Farbrenged for the students later at the meal in the OT ballroom.

Later Rabbi Mendy Pellin gave over some insight on Chabad in Hollywood and gave a little skit for the funny side, followed by Mincha in the Rebbes room.

Later the group of students got together in OT for a grand Melave Malka with music by the OT Zal band together with Yehuda Piamenta and singer Berel Zuker. Rabbi Yona Korn from NYU spoke about his Hippie upbringing which brought him from trying out the other religions to his last stop at Tiferes Bochurim in Morristown, NJ and from there growing into the shliach at the NYU Campus where he today is positively affecting many of the students there, then ended with Rabbi Miller autographing his Sefer which they had a for sale at the event.
