Mystical Shabbat Ceremony

Join in partnership with , for a Mystical Shabbat Ceremony. This is an immersive and embodied family-friendly journey into ancestral ritual, sacred connection, and collective presence.

We’ll begin the evening with a relaxed and welcoming happy hour alongside hands-on crafts for children and adults, offering space to arrive, ground, and gently enter into the spirit of Shabbat. At 6:15, we will cross the threshold together by lighting candles, singing ancient songs, meditating, and opening pathways for deep connection with each other.

This ceremony invites participants of all ages into a living experience of Shabbat as a container for reflection, renewal, and relational depth.

Following the ritual, we’ll share a catered vegetarian dinner, continuing the evening in warmth, nourishment, and community.

Facilitated by Rav Jericho and Rabbi Ami, with Sacred Musicians Shira Averbuch and Akiva the Believer, and Community Weaver Chloe Jacobs.

This Shabbat gathering is designed with adults in mind, but open and welcoming to people of all ages. No prior experience with Shabbat necessary. Open to folks who are Jewish, Jew-ish, and non-Jewish.

This ceremony is made possible through the generous support of UJA Federation of Brooklyn and folks like you who love Temple of the Stranger. To support our work, please click.
