On paper, observing Shabbat sounds like a forbidding list of don’ts. But Jewish children across the CIS who have enjoyed a Shabbaton, a weekend-long Shabbat getaway, know how delightful the experience can be. Every month Tzivos Hashem organizes a Shabbaton in a different CIS city, touching the lives of thousands of Jewish children. As the sun sets after 25-hours of being immersed in an atmosphere of wonderful Shabbat food, lively singing sessions, games, and educational prayer services just for them, the children rush home eager to share the meaning of Shabbat and their Jewish heritage with their families.
