Hebrew Academy Students Enjoy Shabaton in Monsey

Last Shabbos, Parshas Shmos, the Monsey Chabad community hosted the 6th grade boys of the Hebrew Academy of Morris County. The class came for a second time to spend Shabbos with their teacher Rabbi Hami and the Monsey Chabad Kehilla.

This was an exciting experience for the boys that left them enthusiastic and excited about Shabbos and Yiddishkeit. The boys were especially moved by the amazing ruach of the boys of Kehilas Kol HaNearim davening Shabbos morning so much so, that even back in school the following week they were still taking about the energy in that minyan.

They also enjoyed participating in their first Shlaom Zachor in honor of Rabbi Blotner‘s newborn son and the diveri Torah that Rav Lesches shared at the occasion. Finally, the Shabbaton experience was topped of with a Melave Malka with a special guest. Reb Leib Schaeffer, First Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps, came to farbreng with the boys and inspire them with stories from his military experience and the lessons in leadership and success that can be learned from them.

This was the boys’ second Shabbos in Monsey. After having come two years ago in 4th grade, they demanded another opportunity to come and we look forward to hosting them again very soon.
