A steady stream of students poured in to Crown Heights this past Friday from campuses coast to coast and beyond for the annual International Student Shabbaton. The weekend began with registration in Oholei Torah and from there to their hosts for Shabbos.
The Jewish community of Rostov joined together to celebrate the Rebbe Rashab's birthday, which occurred on Shabbos, the 20th of MarCheshvan. Rostov Jews have a long tradition of visiting the Ohel of the Rebbe located in the Old Jewish cemetery in the center of the city. On Friday, the Ohr Avner Jewish Day School visited the Ohel and shared a moving experience, praying together at the holy site. For weeks prior to Chof Cheshvan the students were busy preparing creative projects and reports about the Rebbe Rashab, which were then displayed in the Shul at a community lecture on Sunday.
Culminating a Shabbos filled with spirituality was the traditional musical Havdalah ceremony in which over 750 students that came and spent Shabbos in Crown Heights.
