Shabbos Week

Central celebrated community and student leadership during its Shabbos Week.

Organized by the school’s FIRE (Friends Inspiring Religious Experiences) Ruach Fellows, the event transformed the building into a celebration of Shabbos — each day centered on a theme, including erev Shabbos, Friday Night, Shabbos afternoon, and Havdalah/Melaveh Malka.

The week began with an erev Shabbos day, complete with a Hadlakat Neirot Workshop and Chaburah. “Tichel Tuesday” brought high style. Later, there was a cholent cookoff and Frummy Friday.

The event was a testament to the enthusiasm of Central’s FIRE seniors — Atara Feldman, Orly Fish, Ellie Gross, Evie Haar, Leora Kurlander and Noa Shuval.

“The fellows collaborated to organize everything, which made it exciting and enjoyable for our students,” said Yael Axelrod, director of Israel guidance and Judaic studies. They also spearheaded this year’s annual Challah Bake, demonstrating the vibrancy and heart the organization brings to Central.
