Bring your family and friends for the memorable experience of Shabbat on the Beach. Once again, the Jewish Center of the Hamptons’ is inviting you to join together and enjoy the music and camaraderie of the Friday night Shabbat celebration against the backdrop of stunning Main Beach in East Hampton. JCOH’s Shabbat on the Beach evening services will begin this Friday, May 28 at 6:00pm, and continue every Friday through Labor Day.

Shabbat on the Beach fuses the experience of spending the summer at the beach with traditional Jewish Shabbat rituals. Find your spot in the sand and join the JCOH community in singing, dancing, and celebrating the joys of a magical Shabbat experience. Challah bread will even be available for purchase on the deck of Main Beach!

In order to maintain a safe environment for all attendees, please adhere to the following:

• There will be designated rope circles in the sand to accommodate all of those in your group.
• They ask that you wear a mask upon entering the beach. You may remove your mask once you are in your designated circle.
• Young children who may want to wander should stay the recommended 6 feet apart from other families.
• Please download the prayer card to view on your device.

For those of you who are unable to attend Shabbat on the Beach in person, there will be a live stream of the event here.
