Dozens of alumni of Yeshiva Gedolah Lubavitch London from seven countries came back to the yeshiva to spend a special shabbos together.
This gathering was a celebration of the incredible 37-year chinuch dedication of mashpia Rabbi Mendel Gordon, and a once in a lifetime opportunity to spend a shabbos together with old friends and magiedei shiurim in the place that made them who they are.
The yeshiva community went all out to host the alumni with comfortable accommodations and beautiful meals. The shabbaton began with a yeshiva style shiur followed by seder niggunim and kabbolas shabbos, and continued with a Friday night meal for the alumni and their mashpia. Songs were sung, Torah shared, and the warm glow of old friendship made it an evening to remember.
Shabbos day brought a beautiful kiddush and meal together with the whole community. And through it all, until the end of Sunday’s main event, the grand brunch celebration and journal presentation, Rabbi Gordon farbrenged with his old talmidim.
48 hours were spent immersed in an atmosphere of true chassidshkeit, together with the friends and hanholo and in the storied yeshiva that has made its impact on Chabad Lubavitch by producing talmidim of stature that are today Shluchim and askonim the world over.
The alumni of Yeshiva Gedolah Lubavitch London would like to thank the Vogel family for everything they did to make this shabbaton possible, and for everything they did and still do to support the yeshiva, starting back with the founding of the yeshiva itself by Nosson Vogel.
