Shavuot was celebrated at Chabad this past Friday and Shabbat with the reading of the Ten Commandments, and enjoying ice cream and cheesecake. Thursday night Chabad was full to capacity, with an unusual large crowd enjoying the Yom Tov dinner. In line with the tradition to stay awake through the night of Shavuot to study torah, the meal was followed with a class by the Rabbi about the Ten Commandments.

Friday morning, we read the Ten Commandments in the synagouge, followed by a heavenly dairy meal, which was prepared by Zora our Swiss chef. A special thanks to Itzik and Avi Shpak for their amazing blintzes. In the afternoon the children came to Chabad to make ice cream, an activity which by the time it was finished had the adult participant’s outnumbering the children.

We would also like to welcome back Andrew Bales and family, who have been away in the US to attend his sisters wedding.
