Shabbos Project was a virtual success

On the weekend of Nov. 6 and 7, Project Shoresh of Rhode Island, hosted the annual Shabbos Project which was virtual this year. It began with a Shabbos Box offered for delivery or pick-up and continued with a challah bake via Zoom and wrapped up with a Zoom Havdalah.
The Shabbos Box included tealights, grape juice, ingredients to bake challah at home, some Shabbos treats and materials for Havdalah. To be eligible to receive a Shabbos Box, participants must have committed to doing something to make the Shabbos special by choosing at least one option from a list of suggestions on the Project Shoresh website.
On Wednesday evening, Nov. 4, Miriam Karp led a virtual Challah Bake, and demonstrated challah-baking over Zoom while discussing the significance of baking challah.
Rabbi Noach Karp recited Havdalah via Zoom with a few guests in attendance, masked and socially distanced. What a different kind of weekend when compared with years past, but worth it nonetheless!
As Rabbi Karp said, “Shabbos has always ‘kept’ the Jewish People. Let’s keep the Shabbos!”
