What to Expect:

Join fellow Jewish Young Professionals (ages 21–39ish) on June 6, 2025 for a special Pride Shabbat with Morristown Jewish Center in Morris County and the last scheduled Shabbat until the fall, where we’ll reflect on the 6th portion of Parshat Naso and celebrate the beauty of individuality within community.

This week’s Torah portion reminds us how each tribe brought the same offering to the Mishkan—showing that while each of us carries something unique, we’re united in our sacred purpose. Just like in Parshat Naso, Pride Shabbat affirms that your identity, voice, and presence matter. Together, we build a community where everyone belongs and contributes meaningfully.

Whether you’re a seasoned Shabbat attendee or joining us for the first time, you’ll be welcomed into a warm, inclusive environment celebrating Jewish identity, diversity, and connection.

🕰 Evening Schedule:

6:15 PM | Shabbat Services — Reflect, recharge, and spiritually reconnect.

7:15 PM | Shabbat Dinner — Enjoy a delicious meal catered by Cantor Shana, featuring Shabbat classics and meaningful conversation.

Experience:

✨ A meaningful Shabbat experience rooted in tradition and inclusivity

👥 A space to meet peers and build real connections

🍽 Delicious food in a welcoming environment

Warm Community Atmosphere:

Whether you’re new to Shabbat or it’s your weekly tradition, you’ll feel right at home.

Young Professionals Focus:

This is a space created for young adults in their 20s, 30s, and 40s to connect and grow.
