Shabbat at the Jewseum: Shabbat and the Days of Awe

Welcome Shabbat with meaningful moments of sensory relaxation, conversation, cooking, and creative activities during the High Holidays. Quietly stimulate your senses at an ASMR workshop with artist Ari Bird in conjunction with the exhibition "Mika Rottenberg: Spaghetti Blockchain"; explore the story of the Sabbath Queen and her connections to a poem from a sixteenth-century mystic from Salonica, Greece; and learn recipes for your Shabbat table with Jewish cookbook author Adeena Sussman*.

This program is presented in partnership with New Lehrhaus, Jewtina, and Temple Emanu-El.

*Please note that a separate ticket is required for the Foods of the Shabbat Table program.

About Shabbat at the Jewseum
Shabbat at the Jewseum is a quarterly program that invites visitors to The CJM on Shabbat (Saturday) afternoons to immerse themselves in Jewish ideas of rest and rejuvenation, and to engage with the ritual of Shabbat through an afternoon of activations at The Museum. Shabbat at the Jewseum includes live music, a learning corner, interactive gallery walks, and hands-on craft making activities, all stemming from the diverse traditions and hallmarks of Shabbat across the Jewish experience. The programs will offer creative activities that foster wellbeing and aim to create a space for communal joy through the lens of Jewish practices of ritual and belonging.
