What is a Shabbat x Sangeet?
Our Shabbat x Sangeet is a pre-wedding celebration that blends Jewish, Indian, and Moroccan traditions.
In the Jewish tradition, shabbat is a weekly period of rest and family time that spans from sundown on Friday to sundown on Saturday. The beginning of shabbat is traditionally marked with prayers, wine, challah, and a family meal.
A sangeet is an Indian pre-wedding party in which the families are meant to meet, mingle, and dance. It is a fun, lively event where family members and friends traditionally perform choreographed dances.
Both Moroccan and Indian cultures celebrate weddings with a henna party or mehendi, in which the bride and guests have their hands decorated with henna paste.
We are bringing together all three of these traditions (and adding a dash of Brooklyn) for our Shabbat x Sangeet. Expect dinner, drinks, dancing, shabbat prayers, sunset views, and FUN.
Can I get mehendi (henna) done?
Yes, there will be mehendi artists on Friday night. Everyone is welcome to get theirs done.
What if I don't have any Indian clothes?
That is totally fine! Wear something colorful and fun.
I'd love to wear something Indian but I have no idea where to start...
