Shabbaton hits San Diego State University

The Daily Aztec
Rabbi Chalom Boudjnah. says all students are welcome

San Diego, CA — More than 400 college students are expected to gather at San Diego State’s Chabad House this weekend to rest, relax and celebrate life.

SDSU was selected to host this year’s West Coast “Shabbaton,” an extended Jewish Shabbat festival held once a year.

Shabbat, or Sabbath, is the seventh day of the week and a time to rest, said Chalom Boudjnah, SDSU’s Chabad House rabbi.

“In Jewish homes around the world, families get together every Friday night,” Boudjnah said. “On Saturday, they spend all day together, go the synagogue, participate in Shabbat and have a meal. It’s time to disconnect from the crazy, busy times of the week. It’s time to turn off your cell phone and spend time with family and friends.”
