Sharing Shabbat 2025-2026: Interest Form
2025-07-08 00:00 - 2025-09-03 00:00 (America/Detroit) | The J – Detroit 6600 W Maple Rd, West Bloomfield
Your Family’s Shabbat Adventure Starts Here!
Sharing Shabbat is a 7-month journey for families with children ages 0–11
to explore the joy of Shabbat together. Each month, your family will take part
in meaningful Shabbat experiences designed to help you connect — with the
traditions, with your own home rituals, and with other families in the
community.
Whether you’re new to town, part of an interfaith family, or simply looking to
build lasting connections, Sharing Shabbat offers a welcoming space for
everyone.
🍽️ 4 Home-Hosted Shabbat Meals: Friday night dinner or Saturday
brunch/lunch

Families will be placed into small cohorts that will gather in each other’s homes to celebrate Shabbat in a warm and relaxed setting.
Each host will receive a Sharing Shabbat Host Kit filled with helpful resources and goodies to enhance the experience, including a gift challah to Dakota Bread or Zeman’s Bakery.
Not comfortable hosting in your home? No problem! We still welcome your application and will work with you to find a way for your family to participate.

🌟 All participating families will enjoy these experiences:

Opening Shabbat Dinner & Art Workshop
Chanukah Celebration
Challah Bake
Closing Havdalah Celebration

These shared events bring everyone together to build community, celebrate
Jewish traditions, and create lasting memories.
