This Shabbat Hagadol is known as the “great” shabbat. It is a truly great and spiritually high shabbat that comes right before Pesach. We also know that most of you will have your homes Kosher L’Pesach to prep for Passover– which is why we have decided to do this special shabbaton!

We are hosting our shabbaton at the Westwood Jewish Center from April 12- April 13th. Candle lighting is at 7pm and the meal begins at 8:00pm.

 

All three shabbat meals are included for only $36!
All meals are catered.

Come to eat with us, bring in this special great shabbat with prayer, singing, shiurim and great energy! You don’t have to worry about chametz in your home when you eat out with us!

We can’t wait to see you there!
