Over 1,200 Russian-speaking Jews came together to celebrate the largest gathering of its kind in North America
Guests came from 40 communities in the U.S. and Canada, and some even from abroad—young and old, families with small children, professionals, community leaders, students, singles, and teens, from a full spectrum of religious observance. Many experienced an authentic Shabbos for the very first time
The unprecedented large number of guests, the choice of 70 inspiring and informative lectures, the sensational entertainment, the abundant gourmet cuisine, the beauty of an authentic Shabbos celebration, the luxurious accommodations, the feeling of togetherness that permeated the large crowd—surpassed all expectations
