Rabbi Warren Goldstein

Rabbi Warren Goldstein is the chief rabbi of South Africa and the founder of the International Shabbat Project.

The light of the candles allows us to savor the experience of being together to create an atmosphere of tranquility; when people are able to see each other’s faces, they can really connect.
On Shabbat, Jewish communities worldwide read the same Torah portion and feel part of the natural rhythm built into the Jewish week. We feel a sense of belonging in a world of fragmentation.
