As part of an incredibly inspiring and adventurous weekend on the “CYP Encounter: Panama” Shabbaton, the Young Professionals took a boat ride to Taboga Island.
As they were soaring through the turquoise waters of Panama Bay, the group put on Tefillin.
Upon discovering that the captain of the boat was Jewish, three of the CYPs: Matt Birkinshaw of San Antonio, TX, Jonothan Ambar of Orlando, FL, and Nitzan Goodman of Plano, TX, decided to share the Mitzvah with the boat’s captain and persuaded him to don Tefillin as well.
May we all continue to fulfill The Rebbes Vision in igniting Jewish Souls however far they may be
