Chabad West Hampstead held a powerful and rejuvenating community retreat last weekend at the East Hampstead Park Hotel, bringing together families, teens, and children for an inspiring Shabbos experience.

The retreat featured an array of special guests, including Rabbi Yechiel Krisch and the Soul Key Choir, who flew in to uplift the crowd with heartfelt music and a moving Motzei Shabbos concert. Community members also heard from local speakers who courageously shared their personal journeys, adding depth and meaning to the program.

Throughout Shabbos, Rabbi Dovid Katz, Rabbi Dov Katzel, and Rabbi Menachem Vogel delivered engaging classes and divrei Torah, culminating in a dynamic crossfire session where all the rabbis—together with Rabbi Krisch—tackled big questions and offered insightful perspectives.

Participants enjoyed London’s top-tier catering by Tony Page, elevating the Shabbos experience with beautifully presented, gourmet meals.

A full CTeen track ran throughout Shabbos, giving teens a dedicated and energetic program of their own, while younger children enjoyed a vibrant CKids track led by devoted madrichot and packed with activities, games, and prizes.

The atmosphere was warm, spirited, and full of genuine community connection. Attendees left feeling inspired, uplifted, and eager for the next Chabad West Hampstead retreat.
