The Shabbat has been endeared by the Jewish people as the central and unifying force of our week. The Chabad center provides a stimulating, educational, and community bonding Shabbat.
TGIS is a Shabbat experience that enlivens your week, as you say “Thank G‑d It’s Shabbat!” A little prayer, a little song, a little dancing, and a lot of traditional Shabbat food. It is an experience that will change the quality of your life...
Each individual among us knows how he or she best communicates with G‑d. At Chabad, the language you use or the pace you set for yourself are not of paramount importance. Our prayer books are written in both Hebrew and English, and the page numbers are announced continuously so you may always catch up if you prefer to meditate at a slower speed.
The Shabbat Day Kiddush affords you a collective opportunity to break bread, to share the news of the week, relax into the Shabbat tempo, and enjoy the warmth and companionship that emanate from this community.
I want to express how inspired and happy I felt even though I was away from home during Shabbat. For those of us who sometimes have to travel and be away from our families, it is very hard to find warmth and spiritual atmospheres outside our hometowns and friends. However, being at Chabad in Nashville for Shabbat felt like I was at home with my family
