about us

shtetl shabbos is a small but ever growing collective of self-identified "jewitches" (jewish witches) coming together to explore and embrace the magic, mystycism, folk traditions and spiritual practies of the jewish people through a modern lens. being pluralistic and open to jews of all kinds, we have the simple goal of providing a space where people can get together to learn, create and bond with one another over the unique movment that is jewish witchcraft.

a quick history

within the past decade or so, there has been a steady rise of intrest in jewish magic, mystycism and folk practice. this has given way to what we have coined as the "jewitch movement," of which has been largely inspired by figures such as content creator jewitches, artist and zinester ezra rose, rabbi jill hammer and the kohenet movment, rabbi jericho vincent and the temple of the stranger, jewish pagan author starhawk, and many more.

shtetl shabbos exists as a response to an undoubtable lack of free and centralized community space for jewitches to convene. with nothing more than a burning desire to meet fellow jewitches and a passion for creating digital communal spaces, on march 28th 2024 / adar II 18th 5784 the shtetl shabbos discord server was born, created by co-founders mel and pheonix with co-founder river joining soon after. further down the line we were joined by fellow community leaders kadin, lia and the fireplace system as well.

today, we are a small but strong community continuing to foster a communal space for jewitches of all kinds. together we hold events, host clubs, have discussions, share resources, do rituals together and create new traditions.
