About Us

Shabbat is an age-old holiday that has bound the Jewish people together for generations. To create a sense of renewal within the community, the Chief Rabbi offered a simple solution: Jews from all walks of life – across the spectrum of religious affiliation, young and old, and from all corners of the world – come together to celebrate this day of rest.

The initiative was such a runaway success that communities around the world began calling the rabbi asking to participate the following year. And thus The Shabbat Project was born.

Since the first project’s inception, X events have been celebrated in more than Y cities around the world. Endless celebrities have jumped on board to promote this grassroots movement. And it continues to grow.

The Shabbat Project is about creating a new Jewish future together.
