Phish, Shabbat Mingle in Coachella
By Ryan Torok
For three days over Halloween weekend, between 30,000 to 40,000 fans of the eclectic, free-form rock band Phish gathered on the Empire Polo Fields in Indio, site of the annual Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, for Phish Festival 8. RVs and thousands of small camping tents staked out territory throughout eight campgrounds. And in one of those tents, on Friday night, Rabbi Yonah Bookstein led 35 people in a Kabbalat Shabbat service. This was the Shabbat Tent.
Starting at around 5 p.m., timed so people wouldn’t miss the first Phish set, a group of Jews and non-Jews crossed the campground dancing and singing “Lecha Dodi,” then, beneath a huge Israeli flag, they recited Kiddush, said the Motzi and ate a vegetarian Shabbat meal.

Birthright NEXT Sponsors Shabbat Tent

Matisyahu Shabbat Tent at Langerado 2008
From our humble beginnings with two sticks and a piece of matzah, Shabbat Tent has grown up. We once ground our own flour for challah, and rubbed sticks together for fire. We fished for gefilte fish with homemade rods. We harvested our own soybeans for tofu. It was really old-school.
Ok, not really, but we had nothing when we started.
Thanks to generous sponsorship and the involvement of Birthright NEXT, Shabbat Tent this year at WAKARUSA will be fully operational, staffed, equipped, and ready.

Matisyahu Shabbat Tent @ Langerado brought the roof down, literally
Posted by Rabbi Yonah in Tents on April 14th, 2008
Matisyahu, world reggae superstar, was one of the headline performers at this year’s Langerado Music Festival. In order to observe Shabbat – and perform Saturday night — Matisyahu arranged for Shabbat to be held at the festival itself!
Thanks to support from sponsors birthright israel Next, the Shabbat program brought together Matisyahu and his wife Tahli, Rabbi Leibish and Dena Hundert of Montreal, Rabbi Yonah, and other staff for a rocking Shabbat program. All the logistics and food and staffing were arranged by Adam Weinberg, who worked tirelessly to make this program a reality.
200 or more people jammed the tent and overflowed into “Main Street” during Kabbalat Shabbat. The dancing was amazing and lasted for over an hour. When the dust settled we transformed the tent into a Shabbat Table, and hundreds ate a delicious Shabbat dinner before heading out to hear their favorite bands.
Check out this video from Florida’s Langerao Music Festival Shabbat Tent – notice tent on the ground. It blew down in hurricane force winds. No one was hurt and the show went on.
