Our last Shabbos in CSS was beautiful!
Friday afternoon, all the campers went to the spa to get their hair, makeup, and nails done in honor of Shabbos. The number of nail polishes on the table was incredible! Any color you want, they have! And you can blow, straighten, or curl your hair; whatever you want, they’ll do it.
After prepping for Shabbos, everyone gathered in the Social Hall for Kabbalat Shabbat, followed by the Friday night meal. Rina and Dawn gave beautiful speeches, and we gave each of them standing ovations. We were also privileged to have Chevi Garfinkel join us for Shabbos who gave over her inspiring words of wisdom. She even gave a special speech only for the campers.
Shabbos day, we heard Efrat K. and Elana speak, and once again the audience could not stop applauding. After a delicious lunch, we watched the Shabbos play put on by the campers. Blimi, Elisheva, Chavi, and Bailu were stars in the show! And of course our one and only Abby! BINGO afterwards was a blast, and then we all gathered in the Social Hall again to hear inspiring words from Vicky.
At seudah shlishit, the third meal (of Shabbos), we were privileged to hear Alexis, Sahar, and Chedva speak to us; thank you for your beautiful speeches! We then heard our weekly Shabb0s choir put on by the campers, featuring a duet by Esther and Shterna which blew us away!
Melava Malka after Shabbos was nice; we all danced and got pumped up! Things got really exciting when the lights went 0ff and the stage LIT UP! That’s right, all different colors! Nobody wanted to leave the dining room because the dancing was so fun, but it was time to get some sleep to be up and ready to have some more fun tomorrow!
Good night, all!
