Have a Jewish friend or coworker that does not usually experience Shabbat? Invite them over!<\/p>\n<p>The second goal is to achieve Jewish unity. On this weekend not only will many experience the gift of Shabbat, but we will all experience the gift of unity. Jewish people from all backgrounds will be sitting around the table- together. This is an opportunity for us to realize that despite our differences we are all part of one beautiful people-<em>Am Yisrael<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>How do we do this?\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>Each Synagogue or community\u00a0is suggested to\u00a0put together a committee of lay leaders and others that will\u00a0determine\u00a0the\u00a0ideal\u00a0way to implement\u00a0Shabbat 2014 in their community-in a way that\u00a0effectively tailors the activities to YOUR\u00a0community. They\u00a0should also\u00a0divide up the responsibilities such as outreach coordination, marketing, budgeting, and hospitality. By allocating different responsibilities to different people ensure a full commitment to the program and a way to make the workload manageable! We are available to discuss this first step with you to ensure that the initial programming starts off without a hitch!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>What\u00a0programs\u00a0can\u00a0be\u00a0run?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Thursday Night Challah Bake<\/strong>-Many communities have found having a Thursday night communal Challah bake highly successful and enjoyable.

If you believe that\u00a0you will have a nice amount of people signing up for meals, we suggest getting members of the community to both attend and\u00a0host family meals. This situation is most ideal since it allows for personal interaction and a warm &amp; home-like\u00a0environment that a large communal meal may not create.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If perhaps your Synagogue is interested in making a community-wide meal that&#8217;s wonderful too!\u00a0Communities that may have multiple synagogues and organizations working on this project may desire the communal meal to bring together all parties under one roof. Please note that people who\u00a0may\u00a0not attend your Synagogue or any for that matter may feel more comfortable if a communal meal is held in a community center or a more neutral location.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Havdala Concert-\u00a0<\/strong>Keeping Shabbat is something to celebrate! This is why many will have a concert for Havdallah to signal the end of Shabbat. Please note that in the New York area Shabbat October 25<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0ends at 6:43 PM so all arrangements for concert must take place right before Shabbat or after 6:43PM.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">How to\u00a0sign\u00a0people\u00a0up?<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>There are two ways for people from the broader community to sign up for a Shabbat meal<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Synagogue office- people can call and be set up through the Synagogue office.
