This past weekend, families from across the Northeast gathered for an unforgettable experience at the Yachad Family Shabbaton. Held at the Stamford Hilton in Connecticut, this special event brought together 650 participants for a Shabbos filled with warmth, support, and spiritual nourishment.
Yachad participants (individuals with special needs), siblings, and parents alike enjoyed an incredible experience and benefited from valuable programming that included inspirational lectures, engaging support group panels, Torah shiurim, fun activities, lively singing and dancing, and unique opportunities to bond with others in similar circumstances. Shabbos concluded with the Havdalah service, where harmonious melodies created a magical atmosphere of togetherness and reflection.
Participants and families left the Shabbaton with an invigorated sense of belonging, bound by feelings of chizuk and community support. Organizers expressed their gratitude for the volunteers, donors, and sponsors who made this heartwarming event possible, and families eagerly look forward to next year’s Shabbaton.
