Shabbaton Update


The planning for the Lander Alumni Shabbaton is well underway, and we'll be putting up more details about what exactly will be happening that weekend in the near future. This Monday, a number of Council members got together in Aryeh Young's luxurious office at Lander and made dozens of phone calls to alumni to tell them about the Shabbaton. The calls were very successful, and close to 60 alumni and their families have already committed to attending the Shabbaton; please pass the word along to all your friends as we'd like to get as many alumni as possible to kick off the first major event of the Lander Alumni! We need to know as soon as possible who will be coming so we can determine housing and meals for everyone, and to keep costs low.

As a reminder, the Shabbaton is $30 for single alumni, $60 for a couple, and $65 for a family.

For more details or to reserve, please contact Aryeh Young at aryeh.young@touro.edu (or LCMAlumni@gmail.com) or any members of the Shabbaton committee: Suchi Hornung, Ariel Kapitnikoff, David Manheim, and Moshe Ornstein.

    As a cheap jew, I am curious...what percent of my $65 is actually going towards shabbaton costs? I am getting any more than the usual nasty shabbaton chicken for dinner and a deli platter with burnt chulent for lunch?

    I do believe that all Shabbaton charges are going to be used toward the Shabbaton itself, as it's not expected to bring in a profit (something expected from the first major alumni event). I've forwarded the question to Aryeh, though, we'll see what he says. :)

    (I'm pretty sure we're getting better meals than the old Shabbos fare, though.)
