“As the founding director of Project Inspire, I am delighted and honored to serve as an advisor and guide to Shabbos Glory. I have watched it grow from its founding in February 2018 to the present day: from serving 40 women to engaging more than 550 women and girls across the tri-state area and beyond. That growth reflects both sustained demand and responsible expansion. Approximately half of these women come from secular or unaffiliated backgrounds. It is impressive to see how Shabbos Glory treats each individual with dignity and genuine care.”

What We Believe

Love for Every Jew
Every Jewish woman and girl belongs to this heritage. Regardless of background, knowledge, or level of observance, it's hers.
Relationship Before Program
Programs open doors. Relationships keep women coming back. We know every woman by name and we stay in her life long after the weekend ends.
An Oasis in a Digital World
In a world that moves too fast and connects too little, we create space for real human warmth. Face to face. Heart to heart.
Family
We become friends. Like family. The kind who call to check in, show up when things get hard, and celebrate when things go right. One happy, loud, loving family with an open door and a full support system behind it.
