Alef: The NEXT Conversation

This is your brain. This is your brain on Shabbat.

It’s no secret that Alef has a special place in its heart for hippie festivals. (see our very first post: Shabbat Shalom, Wakarusa) So, when we found out the JTA‘s Ben Harris A.K.A. “The Wandering Jew” stopped by Burning Man to spend Shabbat in the Nevada desert, we knew we had to check it out.

Here’s one of our personal favorites from Ben’s adventures at Burning Man: a gaggle of hippies sitting in (and climbing on!) a geodesic dome, getting ready for Shabbat in the middle of one of the wildest parties in the U.S.  Enjoy!

Have a great weekend, and a terrific Shabbat, everyone!

-Alef
