For 18 years, Black Rock City Shabbat has brought people together on Friday night at Burning Man in an unforgettable way.

What started as a small gathering has grown into one of the most meaningful and widely attended experiences on the playa — a night of music, candlelight, prayer, movement, and connection that draws thousands each year.

In recent years, it has expanded into Deep Playa, creating space for more people, camps, and artists to help bring it to life. Shabbat has moved out of being supported by a theme camp and now is supported by the community and wonderful humans like you!

Donations go directly toward the core elements that make this possible:

Challah and wine for thousands
Ingredients for the shared meal
Infrastructure and materials needed in Deep Playa
New stage for deep playa

With a modest budget, we’re able to create something that reaches thousands — made possible entirely through community support.

We are grateful for the infrastructure of sukkat shalom which is a 501C3 tax deductible organization.

Whether you’ve experienced it before or simply believe in what this kind of gathering makes possible, your contribution helps ensure it continues and grows.

Thank you for being part of it.
