Camp Alonim Community Shabbat

Welcome back to your "home away from home" on Peppertree Lane!

Join the Alonim Community on Peppertree Lane for a traditional Alonim Shabbat evening. We will pray together under the Oak trees, eat Shabbat dinner as one community in the Dining Hall, lift our souls during Shabbat song session, and dance the night away with some quintessential Alonim Israeli folk dances!

Shabbat is a great time to experience the energy, warmth, and unique spirit that exist at Camp Alonim. We invite you to arrive at camp at between 4:30 – 5:00 pm. There will be a Schmooze and Socialize “hour” between 4:30 and 5:00 pm to reconnect with your fellow Alonimers and community memebers and enjoy light refreshments. The group will proceed together to Kabbalat Shabbat services beginning at 5:00pm. A delicious dinner will follow at approximately 6:30, followed by a soulful song session at 8:00 and, at around 8:45, our unparalleled tradition of Israeli folk dancing. The evening concludes at 10:00 p.m.

Our campus kitchen is certified Glatt Kosher. All food is nut free. A variety of dietary options -- vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free -- will be provided.

To arrange your Shabbat visit, please fill out this form as soon as possible -- before we sell out or registration closes.

Attire: We ask that you join in the age-old Alonim tradition and please dress in Shabbat White clothing if possible. “White” means white! Off-white and khaki-colored clothing are asked to not be worn during these times. Shoes and belts need not be white. Examples of Shabbat-appropriate clothing include polo shirts, pants, dresses, slacks, skirts, shorts, etc.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do Alonimers still wear all-white clothing on Shabbat? Yes. Guests visiting on Shabbat should wear white clothing. White shorts are fine. Belts and shoes do not have to be white.

Why don't we use our phones on Shabbat? Disconnecting from our phones and other personal-use technology on Shabbat allows us the time to disconnect and reconnect with our community. The Torah isntructs us to take a Sabbath of complete rest and a Sabbath that refreshes us. At Alonim, we refresh by putting pause on our busy lives and connecting with those around us without the interference of phones and other technology.

What do I do if I can't arrive by 4:30? Arrive whenever you can. Just follow the signs to park in the parking lot and walk up to camp.

Can I arrive early? We appreciate your eagerness to spend time at camp, but we ask that you not arrive early.

Why aren't services being held in the Rec Hall? The Rec Hall is too small to fit the number of campers who now attend camp, not to mention everyone who is visiting. The Rec Hall is still used for camp programs and activities.

Is Shabbat at Camp Alonim a wondrous experience that we can't wait to share with you? It sure is!
