The Jewish calendar is one that values rest: every seventh day we have Shabbat, and every seventh year we have shmita, the sabbatical year. Join us for an immersive Shabbat experience, or Shabbaton, that encourages us to sink into the shmita values of rest and release!
Joined by special guest Hazzan Jessi Roemer, we’ll gather for musical prayer services, enjoy two delicious catered meals, learn together, and enjoy a relaxing, nourishing Shabbat.
Where: Davis Square area, Somerville (location information given upon registration)
