The Year 5 children experienced a fantastic fun filled and spiritual Shabbat in Lincolnsfield centre, on January 12th- 14th 2018.  The Shabbaton started with a fabulous Friday night, which consisted of the children lighting the candlesticks they had made, lots of singing and dancing to welcome Shabbat, dinner with a fantastic ruach (atmosphere), the Mitzvah treasure hunt and a bedtime story from Mrs Baron! After breakfast on Shabbat morning the children enjoyed a full Shabbat morning service in our own Shul followed by a giant Kiddush! The children also took part in the Parashah plays activity and enjoyed learning lots of new games with the Tribe Madrichim (youth leaders). After a delicious lunch the children enjoyed a Woodland walk led by Miss Coren and Miss Shemtob then spent time playing games and getting to know each other better. Seudah Shlishit (third meal) was again filled with lots of singing! Just before Shabbat went out the children took part in a circle time which gave them the chance to reflect on their Shabbat experience. This was followed by a fantastic Havdalah complete with singing, dancing and glow sticks! After Shabbat there was dinner followed by an ice cream party and the Challenge Showdown 2018! The children had an amazing weekend and enjoyed every second of this very special weekend!
