We woke up Shabbat morning after a restful sleep and headed to tefilah for inspiring davening and the beginning of Sefer Devarim. Then we had a nice kiddush at the hotel followed by a learning program about lashon harrah and cyber bullying where we learned the power of our words and the power of our choices. After that we enjoyed a beautiful lunch filled with interesting conversations about the mashicach. Then we had a long menucha in which people either caught up on sleep or attended chaburot given by staff. Then we had another seuda and Tali Wolf and Dr. Lichtman gave beautiful dvar torahs to prepare us for the meaningful day to follow. Then when the fast started we gathered around a magen david covered in candles for a lovely kumzitz in which many people shared their thoughts and stories to enhance the emotion of the day.
