The Shabbat Project
HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY!
Shabbat is a Divine gift.
It improves our quality of life beyond measure, transforms our families and relationships, takes us to a new elevated plane of living. More than just a day of rest, it empowers us to be the best version of ourselves. And it has the power to bring Jews together like nothing else can.
This has been the driving vision of the Shabbat Project since it was introduced in South Africa in 2013. And it’s the reason why Jews, all over the world, of all backgrounds, remain drawn to it.

Now, with the pandemic finally behind us, there is a sense that this year’s Shabbat Project is going to be the biggest yet. There is a real thirst for in-person events and real human connection – and the Shabbat Project is primed to be at the very center of that: a direct response to the call of our times, a chance to re-energize and reconnect, and come together in celebration.
Here’s to Keeping it Together!
