Activities
We will explore parts of Montreal's Jewish neighborhood and Le Plateau, eat some great food (babka, Montreal smoked meat and more!) and meet other Jewish first years at McGill!
Explore Montreal
We are providing a few options for activities in the morning/early afternoon for Saturday! These may include attending Saturday morning services, visiting Old Port, playing board games and relaxing, and more!
Saturday Morning Options
We will be having a relaxing Kabbalat Shabbat service outdoors Mont Royal with a catered Kosher dinner following. In case of rain we will have a similar service at an indoor location. Whether you know all the songs or none of the songs this service will be a great introduction to some aspects of Jewish life at McGill! The unofficial theme is Frosh-ischewitz so there will be Manischewitz!
Shabbat Service and Dinner
Havdallah is the closing service to Shabbat, and we will be doing a small music filled service followed by a party with snacks, drinks (Manischewitz) and plenty of music!
