Shabbat, A Day To Create Yourself

Rabbi Warren Goldstein, the Chief Rabbi of South Africa and innovator of The Shabbat Project has written this new book that he is hoping will be studied by groups of people around the world. We can order as many as we like, and would just need to pay for shipping. In the first week of the announcement of this generous offer, thousands of books have been requested for study in one-on-one chavrusas, and by learning groups in person, on zoom, at family Shabbat tables, in schools, synagogues, outreach organizations and more.

Please us know if you'd like a copy of the book and if you'd like to join a study group. Contact doreenlerner@sbcglobal.net

This year's Shabbat Project will take place on November 3-4!
