 Reboot is a catalyst to the catalysts – a growing network of thought-leaders and tastemakers who work toward a common goal: to "reboot" the culture, rituals, and traditions we've inherited and make them vital and resonant in our own lives. In partnership with the Reboot network, we create opportunities for our peers to gather, engage, question, and self-organize with their own networks, in their own way, in their own time, using the magazines, books, films, records, local salons, gatherings, and events we develop together.

Everybody needs a day off. That was the motivation behind the Sabbath Manifesto, a fluid, community-generated guide that will soon be published online at sabbathmanifesto.org. Users submit their own suggestions of how to slow down and regroup, vote on those principles they find most useful or profound, and help generate new ways of shutting down or chilling out. Your input helps define a collectively created, ever-evolving Manifesto that will change its rules based on the community's evolving needs and understanding of Shabbat. ;) High Holidays Re-Imagined If you do nothing else for the High Holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, do your 10Q – ten questions that will get you thinking about where you’ve been, where you’re going, and what values you want to take on the journey ahead.
