Edgware Shul's Youth Shabbaton kicked off in style with a Friday night family service, so full there was standing room only. It had an amazing atmosphere with everyone singing their hearts out! We then had a family Friday night dinner for over 125 adults and children, with great food, great company and some interactive games! Many people were heard to say that this was the the most wonderful Friday night in our Shul for many a year!

After the parents and younger children left, it was time for the youth to have an "after party" and sleepover – well, there was some sleep at least!

Shabbat morning started early with a quick breakfast for those sleeping over and then kicked off with a packed Shabbat morning programme, including a bumper Kiddush breakfast, lively discussion and Musaf. Over 60 youth had a delicious Shabbat lunch which was followed by an afternoon programme of games, fun and Mincha. The afternoon ended with an amazing Seudah, and lively Ma’ariv and Havdalah.

Thanks to Edgware’s amazing youth directors Avi and Zaza Son, Rabbi Lister and Rabbi Kurzer, Madrichim and everyone who helped make the Youth Shabbaton a fantastic success.
