Session 4 Shabbat: a very special time...
Shabbat is a very special time at camp in which campers celebrate Judaism through songs, dinner, conversation, dancing, and a beautiful Saturday Torah service. Shabbat begins on Friday at about 5pm when songleaders and staff stroll to all of the cabins and pick up excited campers who join in their singing and strolling.
My, everyone looks so nice!

Selected campers come to the center of the dining hall to light candles and lead Shabbat blessings.
At Camp Tawonga, Shabbat is a special time of connection and reflection. Campers and staff share this connection by exchanging hugs and kind words.
Time to dig in!

On Saturday, campers eat breakfast and go to Makom Shalom, our beautiful natural amphitheater for Torah Service, Tawonga-style. Staff and campers join at the front to help with special parts of the service.

Each camper is welcomed to find their own way of celebrating Shabbat and Judaism while at Camp Tawonga.
