About the Shabbat Project
in Tidewater
The Shabbat project is back for another year here in Tidewater. The greater Jewish community will come together in celebration of this special day through a series of different events and offerings.
​
Whether you observe Shabbat every week or this is your first time, the purpose of this weekend is to come together as a community.
​
Join us as we walk through the different steps together, from baking challah for our Shabbat table to our post-shabbat havdalah concert. We have invited some special guests, The Traveling Chassidim to guide us in lively spirit and community members from all corners of the community to share words of inspiration.

One people.
One community.
One Shabbat.
“On Shabbat we celebrate the things that are important but not urgent: the love between husband and wife, and between parents and children. The bonds of belonging. The story of which we are a part. The community that we support and that supports us in times of joy or grief. These are the ingredients of happiness.”

About
the Shabbat Project
The Shabbat Project is an international grassroots movement that brings together Jews from all walks of life and all levels of observance to keep one Shabbat, celebrated in a spirit of global Jewish unity. First launched in South Africa in 2013, the Shabbat Project has, through a team of trailblazing volunteer partners, spread to over 1500 cities and 100 countries.
​
The concept is simple: Jews from across the spectrum – religious, secular and traditional, young and old, from all corners of the world – unite to experience one full Shabbat together.
​
The Shabbat Project is about creating a new Jewish future based on Jewish unity, pride and values. The Shabbat Project transcends the barriers that seem to separate us. It is our opportunity to rejuvenate family and community life, restore Jewish pride and identity, and strengthen Jewish unity across the globe.
​
This year’s Shabbat Project takes place on the Shabbat of 3/4 November 2023 – Parshat Vayeira
