This past Shabbos, JEC students and their rebbeim headed out to Camp Nageela in South Fallsburg. The shabbaton theme was “Simcha—how do we define it? How do we find it?” Beginning Thursday night, Rabbi Chaim Marcus, mashgiach ruchani, kicked off the weekend with meaningful words and memorable stories to the entire student body. After an activity-packed Friday, Shabbos was filled with beautiful davening and inspiring Divrei Torah from both students and rebbeim, ending off with Havdala led by Principal Rabbi Ami Neuman playing on the guitar. “It’s so important to share experiences outside the classroom with my talmidim,” said one rebbe. “These memories tend to last a lifetime.”
