Preparations For Birthday Shabbaton

By COLlive reporter

Preparations are underway for a grand Shabbaton that will celebrate the 60th birthday of Rabbi Mendel Gordon, long-time Mashpia of Yeshiva Lubavitch in London, England.

The Shabbaton will take place over Shabbos 18-20 Sivan / June 21 – 23 with a memorable program at the yeshiva for all participants.

With only a few weeks to go, preparations are in high gear with a spacious tent being set up and eating and sleeping arrangements being finalized.

Intended for all alumni of London yeshiva going back to its inception in 1984, a special program has been put together including Shiurim, Farbengens, Shabbos meals and a grand banquet.

The yeshiva will be organizing sleeping arrangements for all attendees. In addition, all alumni regardless of shabbaton participation, are called upon to participate in the special commemorative journal being made for the occasion.

“Your dedication in the journal and accompanying donation will be living proof of the profound effect a chinuch grounded in a true love for yiddishkeit and chassidishkeit can have on the long-term future of a student,” organizers said.

The Shabbaton Committee committee includes Rabbis Mendel Feller, Yitzy Lowenthal, Moshe Bleich, Yehoshua Werde, Yossi Rappoport and Levi Matusof.

“This is a dream come true,” said Rabbi Bleich, “to spend a Shabbos back in yeshiva together with friends, to share in a milestone and show hakoras hatov with the man who made such a major impact in my life and the lives of so many is a once in a lifetime opportunity not to be missed!”
