It all began in South Africa back in 2013 when Chief Rabbi Dr Warren Goldstein called on the local community to experience the magic of one full Shabbat.
The Chief Rabbi offered a simple idea: Invite Jews from all walks of life – across the spectrum of religious affiliation, young and old, and from all corners of the world – to celebrate this day of rest.
The initiative was such a runaway success that communities around the world began calling the Rabbi asking to participate the following year. And thus The Shabbat Project was born.
Since the first project's inception, thousands of events have been celebrated in more than 1,600 cities around the world. Endless celebrities have jumped on board to promote this grassroots movement. And it continues to grow.
