Manhattan Shabbaton at Congregation Shearith Israel – The oldest congregation in America!

One Shabbat. One incredible experience. One historic location.
Get ready for an unforgettable Bivas Shabbaton in Manhattan!

Join us on November 6 in Manhattan at Congregation Shearith Israel for an amazing Shabbat filled with meaningful moments, and plenty of Bivas spirit — all taking place at the historic Shearith Israel, the oldest Jewish congregation in America!

Whether you’re coming with your friends or coming to meet new ones, this is a Shabbat you won’t want to miss.

Join us for a meaningful Shabbat set against the timeless beauty of The Shearith Israel Synagogue— the oldest congregation in the United States. This Shabbat offers an opportunity to connect through authentic Spanish-Portuguese tefillah, a private tour of the synagogue and special Ladino liturgies. Come learn in depth about the history of the first Jews in America and their journey to building one of the most historic Sephardic communities in America. We look forward to a Shabbat of unforgettable memories!
