Repair the World Announces Souper Soulful Shabbat

Repair the World Atlanta, an organization that engages Jews and their communities in a lifelong commitment to service through meaningful volunteering and Jewish learning, in partnership with Base, ma’alot, and the Zadie Project, with Souper Jenny, announced, “Souper Soulful Shabbat,” which will take place on Friday, Aug. 1.

“Souper Soulful Shabbat is more than a dinner – it’s a night to connect, give back, and welcome Shabbat with purpose and joy,” said Sheefra Blumenthal, city director, Repair the World Atlanta. “Whether you’re new to Shabbat or a seasoned soul, this evening is an invitation to slow down, show up, and build something meaningful together.”

Guests will gather at a cozy space in Decatur (location shared upon registration) to share a hands-on service project, acoustic Shabbat music, and a vegetarian buffet-style meal that fills more than just a plate. Space is limited; advanced registration is required.

The evening’s program includes:
6 to 6:30 p.m. – Arrival, candle lighting, light snacks
6:30 to 7:30 p.m. – Service project (help out, give back)
7:30 to 8 p.m. – Soulful Kabbalat Shabbat (songs + ritual)
8 to 9:30 p.m. – Dinner & informal tish (sharing, stories, song)
9:30 to 10 p.m. – Community clean-up and close

“Come as you are; and leave with a full heart and a full belly,” continued Blumenthal. “We hope you will join us for this meaningful community-building evening.”
