Shabbat San Diego is an independent grassroots level community-wide, inclusive and egalitarian organization of volunteers dedicated to encouraging the entire San Diego Jewish community to participate in a unique, international Jewish identity event that inspires all Jews to experience Shabbat together. The International Unity Shabbat will take place in more than 1200 cities and 90 countries around the globe. For the first time, we’ve turbocharged our Shabbat San Diego into a full week of exciting activities designed to strengthen our growing Jewish Community. Now known as Jewish Xperience Week, this concentrated week will enable all Jewish Organizations to offer numerous spiritual, cultural and social activities throughout the week.
