While Chofesh before Shabbat was the most hectic part of, it was also the best part. We all came downstairs and went outside into the cold to get cute pictures in front of the mountains. We then headed back inside to go to services, where we could pick from a ton of different options.
I chose to go to Shabbat on Broadway which incorporated songs from musicals and added them into the service. From Dear Evan Hansen to Wicked and Mamma Mia, they had it all. 
I've been to many conventions before but something about this Shabbat was very different. There were so many options you could choose from, so it was a lot more catered to what you wanted and if you didn't like the service you were in, you could go to another. It was incredibly meaningful to celebrate Shabbat with so many people from all over the world.
