Diary of a Shabbat Project addict
FOR some, the Shabbat Project weekend is a weekend to look forward to as they keep Shabbat already and there is an extra element of excitement and activities to do. For others it is just another weekend and for most hopefully it is a time to get involved in our community no matter your level of observance.
