Freshmen at Frisch spent an exciting and awe-inspiring Shabbat in the mountains this past week for the annual Freshman Retreat Shabbaton. Over a long weekend at the Raleigh Hotel, freshmen, along with some their big brothers and sisters in the senior class, participated in workshops, games and group discussions that focused on spiritual growth, Jewish learning and getting to know their peers and faculty better. It was a Shabbat with beautiful divrei Torah, singing and dancing, and a powerful havdalah ceremony, and a grand finale bonfire on Saturday night and breakfast on Sunday morning to induct Frisch’s newest cubs as full-fledged Cougars.
