The Shabbat Project

October 25, 2017

|Recurring Event (See all)

An event every day that begins at 12:00 am, repeating until October 28, 2017

Take part in the International Shabbat Project. It started in South Africa in 2013 when Chief Rabbi Dr. Warren Goldstein called on the community to keep the Shabbat of October 14, 2013 together. From there it spread to communities across the world.

The idea is simple: Jews from all walks of life, from across the spectrum of religious affiliation, young and old, from all corners of the world- come together to experience the magic of one Shabbat together.

This year, Louisville will celebrate Shabbat together Wednesday, October 25-28, starting with The Great Challah Bake and culminating with a Family Havdalah Celebration!

Wednesday, October 25: The Great Challah Bake

Participate in a fun evening of challah making, Israeli dancing and connecting with other Jewish women in the community.

Cost: $15, includes all challah making supplies and a reusable apron.

#ThinkGloballyBakeLocally

Childcare will be available with registration by October 19.

Committee Members: Karen Bass; Co-Chair, Julie Strull; Co-Chair, Ellana Bessen, Rachel Blaustein, Margie Kohn, Duby Litvin, Joanie Lustig, Mona Schramko, Barbara Schwartz, Shane Shaps, Dana Strull, Hunter Weinberg

Special guest speaker during Friday night services – Nir Baram.
Nir Baram is a critically acclaimed Israeli author and journalist. Baram’s nonfiction book, A Land Without Borders (2016), describes his one-year journey into the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Over the course of his journey, Baram meets a variety of people: religious and secular settlers with different beliefs, Palestinians who never before met a Jew, political leaders and sleek businessmen. With a sharp and candid eye, Baram artfully portrays a current picture of the West Bank and its inhabitants, begging the question of whether a 2 state solution is still a viable reality. Baram’s work was also featured in The New Yorker, Granta, and other publications.

Born into a political family in Jerusalem in 1976, Baram’s grandfather and father were both ministers in Israeli Labor Party governments. Nir Baram has worked as a journalist for Haaretz newspaper and as an editor of nonfiction books and classic novels in Am-Oved publishing house. Baram is also an advocate for equal rights for Palestinians. His novel will be available for purchase at the event.
