TABC enjoys several community shabbatonim throughout the year. This past Shabbat, 60 talmidim participated in the Riverdale shabbaton, together with their rebbeim, Rabbi Yablok, Rabbi Malitzky, Rabbi Rich, Rabbi Yoni Mandelstam and Rabbi First.

After eating wonderful meals in their hosts’ homes, everyone enjoyed a ruach-filled oneg together at the home of TABC music and media teacher, Shim Craimer. On Shabbat day, the group came together for lunch, after which the talmidim were engaged in shiurim from their rebbeim. Seudah shlishit was split between the Sturm family hosting on the south side and Rabbi Yablok speaking in Rabbi Hain’s shul (Ohab Zedek) on the north side. After Shabbat, Mrs. Sturm wrote in a note to Head of School Rabbi Yablok, “Thank you for the opportunity to host these wonderful boys. They filled our home with beautiful singing and they delighted us with their divrei Torah and laughter. It was especially meaningful that they were ready and willing to help in any way- shlepping, serving, clearing and even playing knee hockey with ‘Little Sturm.’ They are a source of true TABC nachas and I wanted to share it with you.”
