One Shabbos can change everything.





WHAT HAPPENS
Every few weeks, something beautiful takes place in Belarus. Groups of Jews — young and old, curious and committed — gather for a Shabbaton weekend. There is singing and learning. There is candlelighting and challah baking. There are conversations
that stretch deep into the night and leave people changed.

Some participants have never experienced Shabbos before. Others are looking to strengthen what they already know. Everyone is welcome. And everyone leaves with something new.

DESIGNED WITH CARE

Something
for Everyone
Each Shabbaton is thoughtfully designed for its group. For beginners, we offer Hebrew reading, introduction to prayer, and the basics of Jewish life. For those who are further along, classes explore Pirkei Avot, halachic discussions, and the stories and wisdom of the
Sages — spirited debates that stretch the mind and elevate the soul.

Like Coming Home
Meals feel like family dinners. Rabbis make time for every question. And the warmth of an authentic Jewish Shabbos — even just for two days — lingers long after the candles go out.
