This past week we had an amazing program for Rosh CHodesh Kislev (the day the Rebbe got better.)
Tuesday night we all went to a shul called Mishna U'gemora and we had a program there. First we had supper made by Chani Bass & Chana Meer. Appetizers was cut up fruit. First course was salad, Second course meat, rice & fried vegetables. For dessert we had rice crispy treats and chocolate cornflakes. All in all it was delicious.Then an inspirational speaker all the way from Canada came to speak to us.
Wednesday we all came to school and saw that our davening room was decorated as 770. (pictures online.) It had many details. Including the window of the women's shul. We davened with a tape of the Rebben davening. Then Rabbi Turen spoke to us about how it was back then when the Rebbe got sick. In middle of speaking all of a sudden he yelled "OUT GET OUT!" he was imitating what happened back then. Then we didn't know what was going on, ran out of the room. Then we were divided up into what we would do if we were there when the Rebbe got sick. The groups were Simcha..(which is what the Rebbe said to do) Or Learning, or Mivtzoyim. Then we had a workshop on what we chose and why we chose it. Then one girl from each group went up and represented her group and why they all chose it. Then once again we were divided into groups to go on mivtoyim to nursing homes and retirement centers. We all came back with amazing stories to tell. Then we had an amazing Farbrengen to sing nigunim and take in all what we had done in the last 24 hours......... We all went home to the dorm fully inspired!!
