Shabbat "Ce-Liberation" Dinner
  
Shabbat is the weekly Sabbath or day of rest, and in several religious
traditions it goes from sundown on Friday until sundown on Saturday.
It symbolizes the seventh day in Genesis, after the six days of
creation. In the early years of the WPC, since the conference
continues over Shabbat, a small group of folks at the conference
decided to celebrate together. They invited others to join them, said
the Shabbat blessings, and ate dinner together. That was the
beginning. Over the years, more and more participants of the WPC have
attended the Shabbat Dinner and so it has become an annual event open
to all. Most importantly, the history of relationships between African
Americans and Jews was/will remain the inspiration and foundation for
the Shabbat Ce-Liberation Dinner. Its progress and evolution has
been/will continue to be a collaborative process between those who
have been involved with the WPC over the years and the local WPC
planning teams.

The Guiding Principles:

1) An opportunity to ce-liberate with community and reconfirm our
commitment to creating peace, equity and justice.
2) An opportunity to ce-liberate the spirit/history of Shabbat and
reflect on what sustains all of us through the many challenges of
engaging in social justice work.
3) An opportunity to ce-liberate the role that love, music,
poetry/spoken word and other forms of creative expression has
played/play in working towards liberation.
  
Attendance at the Shabbat Dinner is by advance registration only. A
limited number of additional tickets may be available for sale at the
registration booth.
