The annual Chabad YU Shabbaton in Crown Heights is taking place this weekend, with over 120 students joining, double the average number, in honor of the Rebbe’s 120th birthday.
The Shabbaton began with a visit on Friday to the Rebbe’s Ohel in Queens.
The students were addressed by Rabbi Efraim Mintz, Executive Director of Rohr Jewish Learning Institute. They also watched a special video presentation by JEM and sang Niggunim. They then wrote a Pan note and spent time in prayer at the Rebbe’s gravesite.
The students will spend an uplifting Friday and Shabbos in Crown Heights, touring the neighborhood and experiencing an authentic Chabad Shabbos with meals and sessions.
The Shabbaton is being arranged by a number of Oholei Torah Shiur Daled Bochrim, with the help of Rabbi Levi Sputz, the new Shliach at YU, as well as Chabad Club @ YU’s president Jakey Fishman.
Every Thursday evening, a busload of fifty (plus) Oholei Torah students travel from Brooklyn to Manhattan as part of one of the many Chabad Club @ YU programs, for a chance to meet and learn with the students of Yeshiva University.
The students come from various backgrounds, however they all come together for a single purpose… to learn Chassidus. To delve into the secrets of Hashem’s wisdom and to be inspired to grow by the words of our Rebbe.
Wonderful! A hemshech to the extremely warm and friendly relationship between the Rebbe zy”a and the Rav zt”l
