Students of David Posnack Hebrew Day School and the Weber School wanted to strengthen bonds of friendship first forged at this year’s Moot Beit Din in DC. We realized that what we needed was a Shabbaton, a way to continue learning from each other, while socializing with more students. After endless emails, phone calls, and video conferences, the idea of a Shabbaton was transformed into a successful reality.
On Friday morning, November 5th, twenty-three of the David Posnack sophomores and juniors flew up to Atlanta and were hosted by the Weber students. Upon arrival, all the students instantly became friends and throughout the weekend, we fell in love with the spirit inside the Weber School. The students sang, learned, and prayed together, and overall, we had an incredible weekend.
Maybe next year, the David Posnack students will venture over to the west coast for a Shabbaton. Maybe we’ll travel up north to meet and learn with other Jewish students. Since RAVSAK enabled our schools to connect with each other, however, we have the opportunity to visit any Jewish school on the map. Thanks to RAVSAK, we have already begun. –Emily Goldberg, sophomore, David Posnack Hebrew Day School, Plantation, FL ♦
