Celebrating Shabbat in Many Ways
Curated Series
The Jewish Education Project
Shabbat is a 25-hour period of rest lasting from just before sunset on Friday evening until nightfall on Saturday. The idea is to take a break from ordinary life, and focus on family, community, and spiritual growth.
This collection features resources that can be used to plan Shabbat experiences around a particular theme as well as materials for teaching about Shabbat in general.
