CSS Shabbat #2

 On Friday night counselors and campers came to the meal wearing gowns that they got from CSS’s impressive costume collection.  It was a little chilly that night, so the steaming chicken soup tasted even more delicious.  Two campers said a few inspirational words that they had prepared.  After the tasty meal everyone put their arms around each other and sang.  On Shabbat day campers performed a wonderful skit.  Later campers played bingo, and winners received great prizes.  Campers could choose to go to the library and listen to a hysterical story teller read books while another staff member acted the plots out.  Campers got involved and started acting out the stories too.  At 5:30 Rivky Plaut, a riveting speaker, told her uplifting story.  After dinner a sundae buffet was set up.  Campers piled cookie crumbs,  chocolate chips and marshmallows on the sweet scoops.   A choir made up of talented CSS campers sung beautiful melodies on the dining room deck as the sun set behind them. On Shabbat night the music was turned way up, the disco lights went on and the wild dancing began.  The CSS session is nearing its end, but the unity felt as everyone sang together this past Shabbat will last forever.
