Chaburah Spotlight — Aviva Jacobs

michlelet July 15, 2018

Aviva Jacobs is from Teaneck, NJ and is now a senior in Stern College studying Jewish Education and English literature. She went to Bruriah for high school and then spent a year learning in Michlalah. After an incredible summer on Michlelet as a camper, Aviva is so excited to be back and give back as a madricha!

The amazing girls in Aviva’s chabura are Esther Dyckman (Queens, NY), Ayelet Wasserman (Yerushalayim, Israel), Goldie Walls (Silverspring, MD), and Tzivya Gross (West Hempstead, NY).

Aviva’s chabura is called “The Language of the Soul: Exploring our Shabbos Zemiros”. Each chabura is based off of one of the beautiful zemiros which we sing every week, and focuses on the main theme or midah connected to the zemer and it’s relevance and practical application for our own lives. Our goal is to develop a greater appreciation and personal connection to the Shabbos zemiros, and to use the ideas we learn to enhance our own avodas Hashem.

What was your favorite part of Shabbos on Michlelet?

Esther: The kumzitz at the end of Shabbos. When we were all singing together you felt very connected and felt the achdus.

Ayelet: The awesome Shiurim.

Goldie: The tisch with the Rabbi and the Rebbetzin and all the singing and ruach, it was uplifting.

Tzivya: The ruach and zemiros by the Shabbos table and everyone singing, it sounded really beautiful.
