Keeping it Together - The Shabbos Project

[meshugener]

Hey Hey! No offense to anyone!

I wrote "them" cause "I" and the people in my community are not made for this. Its for "them" not for "us".

Now start bashing me about Ahahvas Yisrul etc. ... But you can't deny that there is a difference. Is it better for your children to sit at the passover Seder with Bubby & Zeidy or to go eat it at the local Chabad? There are standards, thats all I wrote.

Now abut the Keeping It Together project you are right that it's very Chushev that they should keep even 1 minute of Shabbos. My question is if there is a long-term goal? Is it for this Shabbos and done? Will they start keeping Shabbos because they were at a commercial Shabbos table? Could be, I asked.

One of the most ridiculous posts on DDF

Thanks guys. My first language is Yiddish, I guess I can't express myself properly in English.

I will keep on reading without commenting I guess...

Keping one minute of Shabbos has long term ramifications. Nitzchiyus.

They say in an email that they're going to have a billboard in times Square advertising the Shabbos Project.

I wish they wouldn't only market this as 'inviting the unaffiliated'

I know many frum Jews who need to experience a real Shabbos seuda

The number of people who signed up on the website is 13,000. Aren't they looking for hundreds of thousands?

Probably millions, if they could get it.

In Monsey, you hardly hear a word about it. Most people I mention it to haven't heard of it.

"Their" intention was for each city to advertise for themselves.

Got to get the oorah marketing team to help out...
Anyway who here is signed up? (by that I mean going to an official event not just keeping shabbos)

Pretty much everyone keeps one minute of shabbos every week, intentionally or unintentionally :p

Personally I've always felt that if we spent half the effort of kiruv on kiruv kroivim as opposed to on random bageling types in the gass we would be far better off.

That means no-one in Monsey took the initiative or they are not doing a good enough job getting the Word out...

Many cities are using their own website/registering system to simply it and meet the information needs of their individual cities which is skewing those numbers

And the cities aren't sharing that info with the shabbos project so that they can update their numbers??

I assume some are and some aren't. Probably friends on how organized each community is
