Last Shabbos, the JEC senior class took to the Highland Park/Edison communities for a beautiful shabbaton.

The shabbaton, like each of the grade shabbatonim, is such an incredible opportunity for bonding and enhancing the sense of family and unity, built over these past four years. Joined by their rebbeim, the boys spent the weekend together and created memories from beginning to end. From a spirited kabbalat Shabbat to a beautiful Havdala, the boys made the most of this incredible experience.

Perhaps what was most special about this shabbaton was the input from the boys themselves. So many important divrei Torah and speeches were delivered by the students. They led the davening and kriyat haTorah and they pushed each other to grow. Huge thanks to Rabbi Sauber, Rabbi Rich, Rabbi Epstein and Rabbi Malitzky who came for Shabbos and, as always, gave of themselves to their talmidim.
