So we had ten girls sleeping in Brovenders on Friday night. It was amazing! I was expecting a chill weekend full of sleeping but it was really so meaningful. We all came together and set up a whole meal. I had the honor of making Kiddush and Liba made hamotzei. WE HAD KIBBEH
okay so one reason why I loved this meal was because (we didn't realize this until after) but we didn't talk about anything non Torah related for the whole meal. Afterword we went around the table giving Divrei Torah and discussing our opinions and interpretations. May I remind you that we were under no supervision at this meal and no staff member from the seminary was prompting this. I am proud to say I sat at a table of Flatbush graduates and we elevated the table to a table of Hashem. We sang some zmirot before we got up to chill upstairs.

We all got up for shul in the morning and then walked to Ms. Anzaroots apartment. My counselor from ILEAD Janice Mizrahi was there too- they're good friends. So were Elliot Shalom and Ariel Shammah because Elliot's her cousin. It was so nice to be all together. Lunch consisted of Lachmegene, (I don't know how but my autocorrect just suggested the spelling) and medias. Some classic Shabbat staples. We chilled for a while until we went back to Brovs to read and relax before havdalah (which was done by Ariel)
I love our independence. Such a great Shabbat.
So great!!!
