Inclusion Weekend at The Hampton Synagogue
This year’s Inclusion Weekend at the Hampton Synagogue was our best yet! It was filled with music and created lasting memories as we came together to celebrate Adam and Rachel Sprung and their children before they moved to Israel to make Aliyah.
Shabbat & Community Recognition
Our weekend began with the Hampton Synagogue’s Shabbat service, followed by a beautiful kiddush. Each year, we honor someone who has made a meaningful impact on our community, and this year we were privileged to recognize Benny Friedman with our Community Impact Award.
A Night of Music & Inspiration
The celebrations continued with a dessert reception and a special concert by Benny Friedman. It was incredible to see so many members of the community come together with their families for this memorable evening. People danced, children sang along, and everyone felt uplifted by Benny’s powerful words and music. His talent and voice left us all energized and connected, and we were honored to have him as a central part of this year’s Inclusion Weekend.
Summer Celebration & Special Send-Off
We carried the joy of song into the conclusion of our weekend with a lively summer gathering filled with cocktails, BBQ, and, of course, karaoke. This year’s party was especially meaningful as we came together to celebrate Adam and Rachel Sprung and their children before their move to Israel to make Aliyah. While we miss having the Sprungs close, we are so excited for this new chapter in their lives and grateful to have celebrated this milestone as a community. The day was a true reflection of everything Bear Givers stands for: inclusion, togetherness, and celebration.🧸
