This is a community wide Denver event! Join The Jewish Experience, BMH-BJ, Denver Academy of Torah, and NCSY, for 24 hours of spiritual Jewish bliss. The Shabbat Project was started in 2013, by Rabbi Warren Goldstein, Chief Rabbi of South Africa, to bring Jews from around the world together for Shabbos. We invite you to light candles with us Friday night, sit together with new and old friends, relax, and enjoy the beauty of Shabbos. We will provide amazing speakers, insightful classes, and large amounts of delicious food. After three mouth watering catered meals, we will end the whole thing with a musical Havdalah, that will get your toes tapping and hands clapping. Last year we had 360 participants – this year we want even more!

This incredible event features guest speakers Rabbi Menachem Nissel and Patrick Amar.
