The youth project of the Jewish Community of Dnipro, \u201cDJCY-STL-STARS Dnipro,\u201d supported by STL, hosted a special Shabbaton dedicated to preparing for the holiday of Shavuot. Student participants from similar programs in Kyiv, Odesa, Vinnytsia, and Kremenchuk joined their peers in Dnipro for an inspiring weekend.<\/p>

<\/p>

The educational sessions were led by the teaching couple of \u201cDJCY-STL-STARS Dnipro,\u201d Yom Tov and Tzipora Shufotinsky. \u201cThe lessons were fantastic \u2013 meaningful, fun, and truly helpful,\u201d shared student Adina Seldina. \u201cWe also had beautiful Shabbat meals and an uplifting atmosphere of joy. We are deeply grateful to the Segal, Weber, and Neuman families for graciously hosting us in their homes.\u201d <\/p>

<\/p>

One of the highlights was an exciting activity modeled after the \u201cBachelor Show,\u201d themed around the idea that G-d entered into a covenant with the Jewish people, and the Torah \u2013 whose giving we commemorate on Shavuot \u2013 is like a ketubah, a marriage contract. Participants were also moved by a tour of places connected to the lives of the Rebbe of our generation, the Seventh Lubavitcher Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson, and his father, the righteous Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Schneerson. <\/p>

<\/p>

The Shabbaton\u2019s peak was a memorable meeting with the Chief Rabbi of Dnipro and the region, Rabbi Shmuel Kaminezki. \u201cWe will never forget that moment,\u201d Adina continues. \u201cRabbi Shmuel gave each of us a chocolate bar, shared profound words of wisdom, and inspired us with an incredible boost of spiritual energy.\u201d <\/p>

<\/p>

The weekend concluded with a joyful kayaking trip along the Dnipro River and a heartfelt BBQ dinner, where students expressed their hope to gather again soon for another Shabbaton in Dnipro.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
