Members and friends of the West Hampstead Chabad community in London celebrated a Hakhel Shabbos in the English countryside.
The Shabbos gathering took place at the prestigious Luton Hoo Hotel, a famous resort with extensive lawns and beautiful historic buildings.
This special unity Shabbos takes place every few years, and was planned for this year especially as we are in the year of the Hakhel.
Guests are treated royally throughout the Shabbos, which takes much planning and production. Many small details and surprises await participants, such as gifts in their rooms, branded Kipas, printed bracelets and many other small touches which make the Shabbos special.
Davening was held at the Chabad of West Hampstead, led by Shliach Rabbi Dovid Katz. Workshops and inspiring and educational lectures were held throughout Shabbos. Rabbi Manis Friedman, the guest speaker, mesmerized the audience over Shabbos with special lectures and talks.
Superstar singer Shulem Lemmer brought special joy to the event, entertaining guests with beautiful and uplifting Shabbos songs throughout the prayers and meals. On Motzei Shabbos a rousing concert was the highlight of the weekend, with participants leaving on a high note.
The Shabbos event was produced by Tzvaim Productions.
Rabbi Katz and Vogel.
Keep up the fantastic work
