Is a ??? ???? not kodesh for Shabbos??????
Is a what ? English please…
Ah, okay. It’s the way to say “Shabbaton” when you are too frum to use such terms.
The Wolf
I had the same all 4 years of high school – going up to the mountains with the whole school for Shabbos. And yes, some girls stayed up all night texting, a few got drunk, but most actually grew from the speeches and workshops the school offered. It can either be a growing experience or the opposite. As with everything, it depends on how you take it.
It isn’t kavod for camp to waste it on shabbos when you can’t do any of the stuff you came to camp to do.
My school does the same. We have a lot of speeches, but there’s also a lot of fun. I think it’s fair to say that everyone loves shabbaton :). No matter how wild and crazy everyone is, everyone still gets a lot out of it. To be honest, the same people who are ruining shabbos for themselves are probably the ones who would be doing so anyway even if they were not at the shabbaton.
Ummmmm….yeh. Unfortunately. What writersoul said is so true. The ones who “ruin” Shabbos on the shabbaton are the ones that have a hard time with it in general. I’ve had both experiences – shabbatons that dragged me down so low, and shabbatons that were so uplifting and surreal. Everyone has what to gain from that Shabbos, YOU just have to be willing to go with open ears and an open heart.
Shopping 613 said “A shabbos camp is like where the entire high school does a shabbos together in the mointains and are all hyper and crazy all night and sleep all day…..I heard its not kavod to Shabbos to do such a thing…than why does the school HAVE it?”
What does it mean that “you heard it’s not kavod to Shabbos to do such a thing”? Kavod is a subjective concept most of the time, and one person’s sentiment doesn’t create a halacha. Whom did you hear it from? On what basis? What is your opinion?
Streetgeek, Texting???
Am I missing something here?
I feel like I’m the one missing something here. I’m sorry for exposing people to what has become reality, but yes, there are plenty of people I know who unfortunately do not see the beauty of Shabbos.
And btw – that’s streeKgeek, with a K…
My apologies, streekgeek.
