The Shabbos Project is coming to South Bend!
Shabbat of October 24/25, 2014

The Shabbat Project is a unique, international grassroots Jewish identity movement that unites all Jews to keep one full Shabbat together. The idea originated last year in South Africa, where the majority of the country's diverse Jewish community joined together to observe a single Shabbat, most for the first time in their lives.

The International Shabbat Project will take place on the Shabbat of 24/25 October 2014 in more than 212 cities and 33 countries around the globe.

By experiencing the magic of Shabbat just once, we can rejuvenate family and community life, restore Jewish pride and identity, and build Jewish unity across the world!

The South Side community is eager to host individuals or families and is delighted to partner with the Jewish Federation to facilitate in gathering a list of people who are interested experiencing a Shabbat with us.

 

Please call the Jewish Federation office at (574) 233-1164 if you would like more information or if you would like to sign up to spend Shabbat with us.
