The Sabbath: Past & Future, Jewish & Christian

A Conversation Across Traditions

Join us for an evening exploring one of Judaism’s most central gifts to the world. Harvard’s Jon Levenson will examine how the Sabbath has evolved from its biblical origins through Jewish tradition and into Christian practice, and why this ancient institution is experiencing renewed appreciation today.

This interfaith dialogue offers a chance to deepen your understanding of Shabbat while engaging with how it resonates across religious boundaries. Whether you observe Shabbat every week or are curious about its significance, this lecture promises fresh perspectives on a practice at the heart of Jewish life.
