MTA’s sophomores, juniors, and seniors enjoyed an incredible Yeshiva Shabbaton this past weekend at the Bushkill Inn and Conference Center in Pennsylvania! The weekend was filled with inspiring Torah learning, exciting activities, spirited singing, and opportunities to connect with rebbeim and friends.
The excitement began Thursday with a schoolwide trip to American Dream, where talmidim enjoyed skiing, snow tubing, amusement park rides, Ninja Kidz, and mini-golf. Grades 10-12 then continued to Bushkill for a late-night barbecue and bonfire kumsitz.
Friday featured shiurim with rebbeim, football, hiking, swimming, and more. As Shabbos began, talmidim joined together for an uplifting Kabbalas Shabbos, a drashah by Menahel Rabbi Shimon Schenker, and a spirited Friday night seudah. The evening continued with thought-provoking panel discussions, a lively yeshivah-wide tish, and grade-wide programming.
Shabbos was filled with meaningful davening, shiurim, special grade-wide kiddushim, and divrei Torah. A highlight was an engaging Q&A with Moreinu HaRav Schachter. Throughout the afternoon, talmidim enjoyed additional learning opportunities, including a shiur with Rabbi Taubes, a Tamid chaburah with Principal Rabbi Daniel Konigsberg, and a Fellowship Sushi Seder, alongside plenty of time for games and bonding with friends and rebbeim.
The memorable weekend concluded with shalosh seudos, a beautiful musical Havdalah led by Rabbi Cohen, and a festive Melaveh Malkah.
The Shabbaton was a true celebration of the MTA spirit, strengthening friendships, deepening connections with rebbeim, and creating memories that will last long beyond the weekend!
