Stay for Shabbat

After the party, sleep in and ease into the afternoon together, then gather for dinner to bring in Shabbat, and end the night with some Persian singing.

On Shabbat, join us by the pool for a full day with a few fun surprises. We’ll be leaving Tzon Kedar shortly after sunset — transportation details will be shared as plans evolve. More information to come soon, stay tuned.

The details

Everything you need to know.
AccommodationFor out-of-town guests, family & friends, you’ll be staying in glamping tents from the night of the wedding through the end of Shabbat — with real beds and on-site bathrooms. You will be directed to your tent upon arrival — more details to come soon.
The week beforeFrom Sunday night, October 11th through Tuesday the 13th, we’ll have a few activities planned — a dinner, a volunteer day, maybe a tour — depending on everyone’s schedules. We’ll keep you posted and share suggestions for your own plans too. Come Wednesday and Thursday we’re in deep prep, so you’re on your own until you meet other guests at a location TBD in Tel Aviv for bus transportation to Tzon Kedar together for Kabbalat Panim. Approximate departure 5 pm — exact time will be posted later.
What to packIt’s the desert — warm days, cool nights. Bring a layer for after dark and comfortable shoes for the gravel.

For the wedding night: come dressed to impress, with a side of comfortable shoes, and feel free to bring a second look to change into for the after-party.

The rest of the weekend: a Friday-night dinner outfit, a bathing suit, and comfy clothes to relax in.
Getting thereTzon Kedar is about 30 minutes from Jerusalem and an hour and a half from Tel Aviv. For friends who need it, we’ll be running buses to and from the farm — more information to come.
