What do you get when you combine thirteen Jewish teenagers, 15 inches of snow, glow-in-the-dark frisbees, and snowshoes? A LOT of FUN!
JCOGS teens hosted friends from Ohavi Zedek for a wonderful day of board games, snowshoe obstacle races, glow-in-the-dark frisbee and tag, and meeting with Noah Dines to hear about his year of record-breaking uphill skiing. He shared about about Jewish moments during his amazing journey, like listening to esoteric daily Talmud pages on long hikes up the mountains and recalling Reb Nachman's teachings to "Be Happy!" even in difficult times.
As darkness fell, we sipped hot chocolate around the firepit and Noah led us in a beautiful Havdalah, sharing a thoughtful intention about not only separating Shabbat from the week, but remembering that we can separate from technology even in the midst of a busy week.
