Shabbat, Dec. 26th - Shabbat in Jerusalem an Experience of a Lifetime!

I've spent plenty of Shabbat nights at Chabad and in my hometown, but having Shabbat in Israel was a completely different experience. Everything about it was incredible. The fact that you're in the heart and soul of Judaism makes it that much special. We lit candles at the hotel and walked as a group to a synagogue in Jerusalem. The energy in the synagogue was very different to what I'm used to. The boys were separated from the girls as everyone engaged in prayer and song. When I walked in, women all around were dancing and praying with smiles on their faces. There were babies and other young children at the Shabbat service as well. It was unlike anything I've ever experienced. We walked back to the hotel on the holy streets of Jerusalem and had Shabbat dinner with each other. It was a Shabbat I'll never forget!
