Cantor Naftali Hershtik and the Maccabeats Join The Shabbat Project in Singing Havdalah Around the World

Back in 2014 Cantor Netanel Hershtik and the Maccabeats joined singers all around the world in ending a very special Shabbat sponsored by The Shabbat Project with the singing of Havdalah.

The Shabbat Project was introduced in South Africa in 2013 to quite astonishing effect. On the Shabbat over which it ran, close to 70 percent of the country’s 75,000 Jews kept Shabbat in full, most for the first time in their lives. Perhaps more significantly, the initiative drew people together in way s never seen before.

In the aftermath, many wrote in from around the world, wanting to bring the initiative to their own cities and communities. And so, the international Shabbat Project was born.
It has already been described as "an experiment that has no precedent in modern Jewish history,” and “the most ambitious Jewish unity initiative ever undertaken,” with around 1500 partners in 340 cities.

Wishing you a Shabbat shalom and a Havdalah like this one at the end of Shabbat.
