"More than the Jews have kept Shabbat, Shabbat has kept the Jews."
—Ahad Ha'am
Shabbat (the Sabbath) is God's gift to humanity. A respite from the constant bustle and stress of the work week, Shabbat is what Abraham Joshua Heschel called "a palace in time"—an island of rest, study, spirituality and inner peace. For thousands of years, Shabbat has helped build Jewish communities, strengthen families and revitalize the spirit.
Shabbat (the Sabbath) is one of the best known of all Jewish observances. At the 92nd Street Y, Shabbat is a time when we build and enhance our connections to Jewish life in many creative and meaningful ways.
The 92nd Street Y provides welcoming, spiritually and intellectually engaging Shabbat programming and learning opportunities for people of all ages, traditions and backgrounds, at all levels of Jewish observance and interest, with each program in its own way offering cultural and educational perspectives on Shabbat traditions.
From enriched family times to art and dance, from music and fitness to study and learning, we hope you will enjoy these programs that are designed to enhance the spirit of Shabbat!
