YADinner + Late Shabbat with Reboot

YAD, the Young Adult Community at Congregation Emanu-El, and Reboot are joining forces for the first-ever YADinner + Late Shabbat!

Join Jewish young adults from around the Bay for an intimate dinner – between 8 and 10 people – at some of the best spots in the Inner Richmond. Following dinner, we will all head over to Congregation Emanu-El for a special Late Shabbat service in partnership with Reboot.

Mingle during the welcome reception and pick up a cell phone sleeping bag from Reboot to help you unplug. Rabbi Sydney Mintz will discuss the importance of Shabbat, and Rebooter and filmmaker Tiffany Shlain will share her powerful experiences with a weekly Technology Shabbat.

The service will be followed by a lively dessert oneg where you can snap a pic at the Reboot Unplugged Photobooth.
