Celebrate Shabbat
Join Us to Receive the Gift of Shabbat
It's easy to lose track of what matters most, whether we are caught up in the hassles of daily life, stressed by the news, or facing life's challenges.
Shabbat, which is celebrated from sundown on Friday evening to sundown on Saturday evening, literally means “stop." It is a time to unplug from daily pressures so we can connect with what is most important in life.
Light candles, sing, enjoy wine or juice, challah, a vegetarian meal, and meaningful conversation. You don’t need to be Jewish or familiar with Jewish tradition to draw on the riches of Shabbat!
On Friday evenings on which we are not gathering for an in-person Shabbat, join us at 6:00 pm PT online by Zoom for candle lighting and blessings over wine or juice and challah, or whatever you have! No experience is necessary, and all are welcome. Feel free to invite friends and family.
Upcoming Shabbat Gatherings
Community Shabbat Dinner
Friday, November 7 • 6:00 to 8:00 pm
Community member's home in Berkeley
All are welcome to our vegetarian “no experience necessary” Shabbat potluck! We’ll gather as a community over good food and Shabbat blessings.
Rabbi Bridget will also lead us in a conversation exploring the question, "Is Judaism an ethnicity, a culture, or a religion?" Space is limited, so register soon!
*This Community Shabbat will be held at a community member's home in Berkeley.*
