About Musical Shabbat Gatherings
Our Musical Shabbat Gatherings offer a joyful way to experience Shabbat through the ancient folk‑singing traditions of the Jewish people. Shabbat with Friends (SWF) invites households to host Musical Shabbat Gatherings in their homes or in lovely venues across New Mexico.
These gatherings create a unique spiritual uplift as participants join their voices around the Shabbat table, deepening connection in ways that feel both timeless and personal. Every event taps the ancient Jewish hospitality practices of sharing a festive meal, singing Jewish table spirituals, engaging in elevated conversation or Torah study, and building friendship and fellowship among the participants.
A unique feature of Musical Shabbat Gatherings is the Oneg Shabbos Ensemble, a musical group that shares the melodic legacy of Sabbath folk songs sung around the table for centuries. These musical traditions include:
Nigunim – Hasidic wordless melodies
