In the event it escaped your notice, this past Shabbos Crown Heights was host to the largest-ever Chabad on Campus Shabbaton. Close to a thousand college students and shluchim participated. The students, growing as Jews and on a journey learning about their Yiddishkeit, took a weekend off to experience an inspirational Shabbos amongst their fellow students. It was an opportunity for Crown Heights to really shine and it did, for the most part.

The students were easy to pick out from the Friday morning crowds on Kingston Ave. Dressed like our scattering of new yuppie neighbors, except for the yarmulkes on their heads, they could be seen navigating Crown Heights' sometimes aggressive pedestrian traffic together with their shluchim. Some looked wide-eyed and amazed by the sight of a modern day Chassidic community, while others just seemed disoriented by all the traffic and tumult.
