Friday night Shabat in Bali
A friend of mine invited me to a Shabat tonight. You don’t know what a Shabat is? Neither do I really. The other day he said “Some expats get together and hold a shabat, you want to go?” I said I didn’t know what that was, and he said it was what Jewish people do on Fridays. I said I’m not a Jew, and have no idea what they do on Friday nights.
Apparently food will be involved (hopefully drinking too). Maybe I should keep quiet about the Muslim converting thing. Just found a site for Jewish travelers, about Shabat.
Shalom dan selamat malam.

Isn’t a Shabat where all the men present throw their car/bike keys into a bowl and the women present pick a set out and bob’s your uncle, it’s time to pump up the jam.
Chris, that’s exactly what happened. Only thing was I didn’t want to risk losing my whole set of keys, so I just sat on the sidelines and took photos.
Now i think I can be of assistance here ,Nick.Northern Ireland had a big Jewish comunity.In my job as a nurse i got to learn a bit about the Jewish culture/religion.
Saturday is their sabbath-they do nothing.That includes cooking,cleaning ect.maybe Friday night is their “cut loose let it all hang out night”.hopefully you will have fun —keep us posted.Um not sure bout the alcohol though but should be plenty of food.
Cheers laurs
