Shabbatons have always been essential experiences that the educators at Emet Outreach provide for college students, young adults, and young couples. The Shabbos programming is hands-on, personal, and impactful. It is designed to enable participants to delve into the beauty of Shabbos, disconnect from technology for 25 hours, and truly feel what it is like to be an observant Jew. Over the past few months, these meaningful weekends of spirituality and solidarity were put on hold. With safety a top priority, Emet’s team monitored the protocols and waited for the right moment to resume. That moment recently arrived for a small group from Emet’s women’s division. Gone were the days when the biggest concern before a weekend was what clothes to pack. Now, the weekend kicked off with COVID-testing for all interested participants a few days before departure.
