SKA hosts annual Shabbaton

It’s hard to top an annual Stella K. Abraham school event, but this year’s Shabbaton 5777 was declared the best ever!

The ruach, achdut, talent and warmth felt in the Hudson Valley Resort last weekend was out of the ordinary. The weeklong prep — with Shabbat parties, chulent kickoffs, and class sessions on hakarat hatov — heightened the sense of anticipation in the school. 

The glorious grounds and weather, the inspirational  presentations on the theme of hakarat hatov by guest speaker Mrs. Jackie Bitton, and the dynamic Senior Class program  contributed to a wonderful Shabbat, as did beautiful student-delivered divrei Torah and delicious food.

The incredible Talent Show,  the melave malka with spirited dancing, and the powerful kumsitz ended the evening on a high.

Each SKA student who attended truly “saw the good” in this enhanced and very special Shabbat.
