Description
Step into Friday Night Lights: Purim Edition, an interactive, come as you are Shabbat at Glazer Campus. Start with wine and light bites, settle in for soulful, sing-along music and Shabbat candle lighting, then choose your own Shabbat adventure, with Purim inspired breakout experiences for adults and children alike.
In a world that rarely stops, Shabbat offers an ancient technology for coming home to yourself, to community, and to what matters. As Ahad Ha’am taught, more than the Jewish people have kept Shabbat, Shabbat has kept the Jewish people.
