Imagine that the Shtetl of Europe has been frozen in time, transported to New York, and then unfrozen. Imagine walking down the main street and seeing the Judaica shops, hearing the sounds of yeshiva students studying the Talmud, smelling the aromas of the freshly baked Challah wafting from the local kosher bakeries, while seeing signs Hebrew and Yiddish and shuls at every corner, while the skyscrapers of Manhattan rise in the distance.
Chabad of Nashville invites the Nashville community to experience this at Shabbat in the Heights
Approximately 120 people from Jewish communities across the United States participated in last year’s Shabbat in the Heights Shabbaton in the neighborhood of the Chabad Lubavitch headquarters. The Shabbaton experience, is taking place this year, May 2-4, 2024, and enables one to experience Chassidic life in a personal way.
Throughout Shabbat, guest lecturers and study groups provide opportunities to study the Rebbe’s teachings and illuminating perspective on life and its purpose. A guided tour of the Rebbe’s synagogue, office and home allows a glimpse into life with the Rebbe and insight into how he inspired his thousands of emissaries, leaders in their own right, in Jewish communities in every corner of the globe.
Nashville will be well-represented this year with a group led by Rabbi & Yitzchak and Esther Tiechtel, with Chabad of Nashville. “Living in Nashville and working in the community for the past 27 years makes Nashville home, but a big piece of my heart is always in Crown Heights where I grew up" says, Rabbi Tiechtel. “I can’t wait to share it with my friends from the Nashville community.”
The all-inclusive weekend feels like a retreat, complete with authentic Jewish cuisine, and eclectic Chasidic entertainment, providing a much-needed boost of spiritual energy, which she will carry over into her work, living of a more meaningful life.
