The Havdalah Cabaret - A Sacred Profane Cabaret!
Shabbes 24/7, a queer Jewish collective in Brussels, presents The Havdalah Cabaret - A Sacred Profane Cabaret! The programme, hosted by Chanukah Lewinsky, is based around the four elements of the Havdalah ritual: Wine, Light, Spice and Separation. Havdalah marks the transition of the holy sabbath from the week, separating the sacred from the everyday. In this way, Shabbes 24/7 invites you to explore the queering of Havdalah with them!
