Shabbat keeps us together.

The Shabbat Project is back. On 4–5 December the entire community is invited to keep Shabbat together: to switch off, reconnect with those around you, sit down at the table, walk to synagogue and even say a prayer or two.

For thousands of years, Shabbat has kept us.

This Shabbat, let's keep it together.

The Shabbat Project 2025 is for all of us. It’s for those of you who can keep Shabbat in its entirety, but also for those who are able to keep Shabbat in a way that works for you.

This year we encourage all of you to…

Eat together – invite guests to your shabbat meal and make it a meaningful one.

Pray a little – join us at your local synagogue to pray with your people.

Walk, don’t drive – try leaving the car at home as you enjoy a spiritual Shabbat.

Recent times have emphasised the importance of uniting as a community and has given all of us a unique insight into how each generation of Jews have needed to come together and rise as one.

Shabbat offers all of us the chance to come together spiritually and partake in the century’s old traditions of our people.

Let’s stop for a day. Let’s connect with who we are.

Let’s eat, pray, walk. Together.
