Griggs Park, a natural oasis nestled in Dallas’s city center, hosted a historic display of Jewish Pride as 500 young Jewish Professionals gathered for a grand Shabbat dinner. Organized by The Intown Chabad, The mega Shabbat took place at the iconic public park in the heart of Dallas showcasing the community’s strength in the current climate.
“The scale of the event blew over all our guests,” said Chase Fagen, 24, who helped organize the event and co-hosted a table. “Sitting there in the heart of Dallas, proudly overlooking the iconic skyline, really brought home the message that we are stronger together as a unit, and must continue to be confident in our Judaism.”
Tables were immaculately laid in the expanse of the tree-lined park. As the sun set and candles were lit, local media in attendance were asked to turn off their cameras, and the already assembled crowd took their seats for a moving prayer service. A delicious catered meal was then served and conversation among friends new and old lasted late into the night.
