ULYOP 5th Annual Chanukah Winter Ski Camp

It’s 7:00 am, students of ULYOP & Hamasifta gather in Crown Heights to meet at their home away from home, United Lubavitch Yeshiva on Ocean Parkway. At the same time the school’s talmidim from Flatbush, Queens, and Brooklyn heights are trekking towards the same goal. After the day’s Tanya and a hardy breakfast the vans are loaded, at 9:12am their over 200 mile journey to snow covered Saratoga Springs began. For yet another unforgettable Shabbos & Chanukah by Rabbi Avraham Abba Rubin, the Rebbes shliach to Saratoga Springs.

B”H once again the program was an incredible success, fabrengings with many positive hachlotos; learning, ice hockey, skiing, snowboarding mivtzoim in the state capital Albany, and public menorah lighting. Shabbos was spent in the quite mountains of Saratoga Springs, where the bochrim added much to the small Jewish community with divrai Tora, inspiring davening with singing and dancing.

The kids returned to Yeshiva with renewed energy and excitement, this Chanukah was an inspiration which will surely help them throughout the year in their learning and davening.

Special thanks to: Rabbi Avraham Abba Rubin, Rabbi Simon and Chabad of Delmar Head staff: Rabbi D. Bush, and of coarse Rabbi & Rebbitzen Harari. for organizing this wonderful winter vacation for the 5th year in a row!
