Conclusion of the Sinai Scholars Course in Rome: A Journey of Discovery and Spiritual Growth

On November 10th, the transformative experience of the Sinai Scholars Course at Chabad of Piazza Bologna, Rome, came to a close. After eight intense and stimulating classes, culminating in a full Shabbat together, the participants celebrated their journey with an unforgettable evening.

The final ceremony began with a Havdalah, recited by a visiting tourist, adding an international touch to the event. Following this, attendees enjoyed a traditional Italian dinner featuring pasta and pizza, a convivial moment that strengthened the bonds formed throughout the course.

Each student had the opportunity to present their final project on a chosen Jewish topic, showcasing not only their intellectual growth but also their ability to apply the teachings to their own lives. The presentations ranged from reflections on Jewish identity to the search for meaning within the context of Tikkun Olam (repairing the world), and the significance of observing Shabbat mindfully.

The program also included a visit to the Mikveh, providing participants with a moment of reflection on concepts of purity and renewal, which are central to Jewish life. The evening concluded with the awarding of diplomas, recognizing their dedication and the growth they achieved.
