Going to SXSW? Reform Movement and ROI Community Partner for Kabbalat Shabbat

SXSW Alternative Kabbalat Shabbat Features Music and New Media

The Union for Reform Judaism (URJ) and the ROI Community are presenting WAREHOUSE ATX at the SXSW Festival in Austin, TX. WAREHOUSE ATX, featuring musician Josh Nelson, is an alternative Kabbalat Shabbat experience using music and new media. The event will be followed by ROI Unplugged, a musical showcase featuring musicians Simja Dujov, Neshama Carlebach, Noa Margalit and Ami Yares.

Building Jewish community at events like SXSW – a set of music, film and interactive festivals that draws tens of thousands – is a natural fit for a partnership between ROI Community and the Reform Movement. As an international network of more than 800 activists and change makers in 50 countries who are redefining Jewish engagement, ROI Community is working at the bleeding edge of identity and community. The Reform Movement is committed to building a living Jewish experience for a diverse and vibrant community.

    Chabad Lubavitch has been doing this for years.

    Chabad may have had a presence at SXSW but they only offered a traditional Shabbat experience. This event is unique and exciting because it offers an alternative progressive Shabbat service followed by a concert. There are many Jews (myself included) who are interested in new and creative T’fillah options that cater to a wider variety of young, professional Jewish adults.

    Cannot WAIT to see Warehouse Shabbat again (saw them the 2nd time ever in NYC last Winter 2012) and well, what can I say but Josh Nelson ROCKS! And so does Neshama and URJ! : ) I’m sure this will be an EVENT you will NOT want to miss, think camp, jews, fun, engaging, no tallis, no kippas (*unless you want to wear it), no siddurs but MASSIVE amounts of JOY, LOVE, SHABBOS SHARING, and RUACH/SPIRIT. If you are Jew or non-Jew this is where the happiness and love will be on Friday night, be there and believe in the magic!
