Blogs >My Cayman Islands Rosh Hashana Experience File Photo: Chabad Yom Kippur Minyan on the Cayman Islands. As some of you may know, this week is a big week for us Children of Abraham. It’s Rosh Hashanah/Yom Kippur, our big holidays, when even if you don’t do another Jewish thing all year, you gotta do this. We used to hate it as kids, having to go to services FOUR WHOLE TIMES in the space of about 10 days. I guess as you get older, you don’t mind so much – either because you like the ritual or because you’re getting close to your “Use By” date and you want to have all the bases covered.

Blogs >My Time at a Hasidic Boys' Camp The
boys and their counselors gather in front of “770” for a memorial
service called Gimmel Tammuz: As the Chabad-Lubavitch website puts it:
"The anniversary of passing of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem
Mendel Schneerson of righteous memory. For the better part of July, my wife and I and our two youngest children were at a Hasidic camp for boys. My wife was employed there for the month as a camp nurse, and our oldest boy, aged nine, was there attending camp for the first time at a sleep-away camp. (I did some writing, working on my novel.) It was a good trial to see if he would like it. Actually, we weren't far from him, but he was still in a bunk with other boys his own age. We were curious and slightly nervous how well he would fit in with the other boys, who were outwardly more religiously observant than our family was.
