Shabbat Dinner with JYC: Recharge, Connect, Celebrate

Discover Shabbat: A Time to Unwind and Reflect

What is Shabbat?
Imagine a day dedicated entirely to rest, reflection, and rejuvenation. In Jewish tradition, the world’s creation unfolds over seven days, climaxing with Shabbat on the seventh day—a time as crucial as any day of creation. It symbolizes a pause, a moment to breathe and recognize our role in continually bettering our world. Embracing Shabbat means dedicating time to rest, ensuring we’re recharged for the days ahead.

Why Celebrate on Friday Night?

Rooted in ancient wisdom yet profoundly relevant today, Shabbat begins just before sunset on Friday and spans a restful 25 hours. While Shabbat extends through Saturday, our focus at JYC is the launch of this sacred time: the Shabbat dinner. It’s more than a meal; it’s a moment to bond, to share stories and laughter over delicious food and wine. It’s our weekly reset button, emphasizing not the restrictions of this special day, but the boundless opportunities it offers for the week ahead.

Tradition Meets Today

JYC is where tradition and individuality merge. Every Shabbat dinner is a chance to be fully present, to forge meaningful connections, and to celebrate our shared heritage while embracing our unique journeys. Our approach to Jewish Core Values isn’t about adhering strictly to age-old practices but about making these traditions resonate with your personal beliefs, experiences, and aspirations.
