When we entered our rooms, we saw that the extra "Sharfman's Warmth" was even placed into our rooms, as we found an assorted array of Shabbos treats that were placed in our hotel rooms ahead of time, just for us!! Plus, throughout Shabbos there were inspiring Shabbos meals, a Friday Night Tish, led by Mrs. Chana Silver, that seemed to last into the early hours of Shabbos morning :) What's more, the Kinar Hotel Shabbaton also featured unique discussion groups for us to continue our quest to further our knowledge as highly educated young Jewish women.

On Motzie Shabbat we enjoyed a lovely pizza Melavah Malka and a candle lit Kumzitz in which Rabbi Sharfman sang and played his guitar! Unfortunately, the pictures just don’t do this Shabbaton justice…we loved it :)
