*YJP Miami Packs The Gale For Shabbat 1000* About 1,000 young Jewish professionals filled The Gale Hotel & Residences on Friday night for YJP Miami’s second annual Shabbat 1000. The night opened with cocktails and a DJ, moved into Friday night services, then a full Shabbat dinner. Hotel rooms for the weekend sold out before the event even started. YJP just posted the recap, and the candle-lighting scene is the one making the rounds. Rows of glass votives, string lights, and a packed room of 20s and 30s lighting Shabbat together downtown. This is now one of the biggest young-adult Shabbats in Miami. If you missed it, YJP’s High Holiday slate is already up, including Burgers & Beer this Friday at The Rok Family Shul and Rosh Hashanah dinners next week. *Florida Scoop’s Take:* A thousand people showing up for Shabbat in downtown Miami is not a small thing. This community is not waiting for community to happen. They are building it.
