This year’s Shabbat Project might feel a little different without live events and huge Shabbat tables filling up around the world. But in truth – as cities shut down, grandparents stopped hugging grandkids and full time parents became full time teachers – one of the things that remained consistent was Shabbat. An anchor in all the crazy.

​

And the irony is that this year we may be closer to each other than ever before. Whether we are in Amsterdam or Connecticut, Denmark or Denver – we are all home.

​

The pandemic has reminded us that our homes are our anchor. And it’s clear that our anchor needs Shabbat even more.

 

This year – come November 6 – let’s flood our homes with the light, life, meaning, warmth and depth of Shabbat.

​

This year, let’s bring it home – that’s where it belongs.

​

Shabbat. Bring it home.
