The mitzvah of hachnasat orchim was in full swing at Yavneh Academy. The students were busy inviting, preparing, baking and setting up for guests to enjoy their weekly Shabbat parties together. After lengthy discussions of how to make guests feel welcome and comfortable, classes wrote and decorated invitations to send to other classes, cleaned the rooms to make them shine for their guests and prepared delicious Shabbat party treats. Shabbat parties were full of ruach, music, dancing and excitement. Students even made fresh pitot for their guests! The students at Yavneh truly felt like Avraham Avinu inviting guests into their tents.
