UNITY SHABBAT ON NOVEMBER 5-6

By Karen Parry / October 27, 2020

Updated: November 5, 2020

Join us at Unity Shabbat- a way to reconnect.

We are in the midst of a critical election and we live in a divided world. Especially now, during the pandemic, coming together is more important than ever. We must remain connected as the Jewish future for our community. Unity Shabbat is about just that- coming together despite our differences. Let’s laugh together, eat and drink together, and learn from each other.

For Unity Shabbat, all students from Hillel of San Diego’s campuses (UCSD, SDSU, USD, and CSUSM) are included. If you registered before November 1, you are receiving a FREE Shabbox that includes all the Shabbat Swag needed to create connections right at home. Local Shabboxes for those who registered for the Challah bake also include ingredients to make your own challah together on Thursday night.

So are you ready to join in as one community?

Here’s what you need to know:

Thursday, November 5th at 5pm- Unity Shabbat CHALLAH BAKE with UCSD+SDSU Challah For Hunger united with Shabbat San Diego.

Friday, November 6th at 4pm- Unity Shabbat experience for healing.

Not Spooky, More like Totally Inspiring

Let’s be real, we live where people vacation. San Diego is the best city in the world, and we all know it. And word has gotten out. San Diego is attracting the next generation of Jewish adults.

Ok, so that was pretty perfect.

Full disclosure, we were very nervous about hosting our first fundraiser in 10 years. This evening represented more than a fun party. It was a chance to highlight our intentional design around user experience that cultivates meaningful connections and belonging – basically the work we do every day for our students.

We could have broken. Instead, we were forged.

Just like 9/11, I will forever remember where I was and what I was doing on 10/7. I think that is how it will be for a lot of us.
