OneTable Live
Hey OneTable Fam, thanks for joining us in this virtual gathering place. We are so grateful to have you here. Every Tuesday, we’ll be posting the schedule for the upcoming Friday’s OneTable Live. From group Shabbat cooking classes to virtual ritual to Trivia nights, we’re going to experiment, learn, and connect with all of you.
- Jewish tradition teaches that saving one life is tantamount to saving the entire world, and we take this teaching seriously. As such, we may be slower to fully “reopen” than some other organizations. After months of physical distancing, OneTable will now support the following options:
-
- Solo Shabbat: Post your dinner to be in community with other solo Shabbat hosts and qualify for Nourishment for one.
- Shelter-in-Place Shabbat (with roommates)
- Virtual Shabbats (including OneTable Live)
- In-person dinners outdoors, in accordance with Social Distancing Requirements. Here are some of our favorite items you can get with Nourishment for an epic Shabbat dinner picnic.

Camp OneTable is in session! Join us after Shabbat ritual on Instagram for an end-of-week movie viewing party. We’re gathering to watch The Parent Trap (LiLo edition, duh) because summer just wouldn’t feel right without a lil installment of 1990s nostalgia and Camp Walden / Napa / London Hallie and Annie mischief. We’ll be streaming the film so all you have to do is grab your oreos + peanut butter (or, alt-nut-butter of your choice, in the true sleepaway summer camp spirit) and get comfy. All are welcome – even if it’s your first time viewing this gem. Join our zoom at 8pm ET/5pm PT for the early screening and 11pm ET/8pm PT for a late night romp.

We’ll close with a sip of wine + moment of gratitude before we bite into our steaming & delicious arepas. The Instagram Live event is open to all — RSVP to this event if you’re in the District and would like a *free* DIY arepa kit, including your choice of fillings, so you can cook along at home.
8:30pm ET/5:30pm PT | Queer Vegan Shabbat
Let’s celebrate PRIDE! Let’s celebrate veganism! You’re invited to join OneTable and Jewish Veg to bring in the last Shabbat of June PRIDE month with our West Coast community. We’ll share Shabbat rituals and conversation exploring embodiment, intention, and rest as they apply to the intersection of animal rights, Judaism, and queer experience. In the true spirit of PRIDE, the first 30 people to sign up will receive Nourishment to pick up a rainbow vegan challah from local challah partners in Portland, the Bay Area, and Los Angeles. More details coming soon!

Then, join us for a bit of ritual as we welcome Shabbat in community.
6pm ET/3pm PT | Sarah Jampel Talks (and Cooks) Shabbat
Sarah Jampel joins us in conversation with Jake Cohen to talk (and cook) all things Shabbat. Sarah is the editor of Basically at Bon Appétit, where she also develops recipes and writes print features. Before that, she spent years at Food52 as a recipe developer, food stylist, and writer, and worked in pastry kitchens around New York, making 300-plus sandwich cookies a week, churning gelato at 7 a.m., and hulling pounds and pounds of the tiniest strawberries imaginable. Recipes to come!
This Friday is Juneteenth, a celebration of African-American freedom from slavery. Rabbi Sandra Lawson writes, “We are celebrating what it means to live freely in the United States and we also must remember that for many of us freedom is a journey. The fight for freedom for all is not over. There is still work to be done. Juneteenth is an important reminder to all of us of why we fight: The struggle for freedom for all must continue because until we are all free, none of us is free.”
This week, we’re taking the week off from OneTable Live programming to make space for you to create conversation and organize around your own tables, and to highlight Juneteenth learnings and events already happening across the country. Here are some places to start:

- My Grandmother’s Hands by Resmaa Menakem, which examines white body supremacy from the perspective of trauma and body-centered psychology
- The Cooking Gene: A Journey Through African American Culinary History in the Old South, the James Beard Foundation Book of the Year by Michael Twitty that traces his ancestry–both black and white–through food, from Africa to America and slavery to freedom

5pm ET/2pm PT | Social Listening Shabbat
Social Listening is a weekly “radio show” over Zoom created by Seth Tinkle with themes like “R&B Through the Ages” and “Samples and Sampled”. This week, listen along through the music of and about New York City over the past (nearly) century — from the Harlem Jazz scene, to Greenwich Village folk rock, to punk and new wave, to the birth of hip hop and its evolution, to the indie rock moment(s) of Brooklyn in the 2000s, etc. We’ll close our social listening by setting some intention and welcoming Shabbat as a community.
8:30pm ET/5:30pm PT | Trans Jewish Journeys
Join us for an incredible evening in celebration of trans and non-binary Jews. We’ll engage in conversation around trans and Jewish resilience with activists Victoria Rovira Hernández from Heredia, Costa Rica and Nevo Zisin, from Melbourne, Australia. After a conversation and Q & A, we’ll join breakout groups to discuss, process, and connect. We’ll close with some Shabbat ritual from our guests!
8:30pm ET/5:30pm PT | Pub Trivia Night Shabbat
Friday night Pub Trivia is BACK for round 4! BYOSD (bring your own Shabbat dinner) and get ready to play! **Share the love! But, because trivia will be played in teams, we ask that you share the link and ask friends to sign up on the platform directly. If you’re hoping to play on the same team as a friend or specific group, mention their full names where it asks once you click RSVP.
9pm ET/6pm PT | Shabbat Ritual with Aaron Leven on Instagram Live
5pm ET/2pm PT | Sobremesa de Shabbat: A Night of Alfajores + Conversation
Share your stories and experiences of intersectional Latin American and Jewish identities while bringing in Shabbat with Latin American flavor. Jessy Cohen and Martina Bialek are teaching us how to make Alfajores — delicious Argentinian dulce de leche cookies. While we give the dough some time to rise we’ll chat about being Latinx and Jewish as a large group and then in more intimate groups based on interests. We’ll finish the night with a sweet Kabbalat Shabbat and some buena musica.
6:30pm ET/3:30pm PT | Lab/Shul SHABasics
OneTable joins the Lab/Shul Ritual Team + Feast Team to invite our community gather around a giant virtual table to light, sip, bless, connect, and sabbath together in the spirit of renewing our commitment to the ongoing fight for justice.
8pm ET/5pm PT | Good Vibrations
Shabbat is all about pleasure and rejuvenation. During this time of social distancing, we want to bring that sexy sparkle back to Shabbat. Come as you are and let’s take this holy time to explore all things sensual about Shabbat. All are welcome to join us for this special Shabbat experience in partnership with Awakening, Denver, Colorado’s premier sex-positive boutique. Tory Johnson and Rose Kalasz, founders of Awakening, will teach us about all the ways you can bring more pleasure and sensuality to your life, and OneTable team members Natalie Bergner and Tali Burger will share what Jewish texts have to say about pleasure as it relates to this special weekly holiday. *First 20 RSVPs are eligible for a special gift sent straight to you from Awakening!*
8pm ET/5pm PT | A Mizrachi Shavuot: Ritual with JIMENA
Join JIMENA and OneTable to celebrate Shavuot, a Jewish harvest festival, led by the Rabbi Tsipi Gabai — the first Moroccan female rabbi and currently one of only four female Mizrahi/Sephardic rabbis worldwide. We’ll welcome in Shabbat together singing sacred ancient Sephardic song cycles known as Piyyutim with percussionist Katja Cooper, and learn about Moroccan Jewish traditions & culture of Shavuot. Come with questions or stories to share!
8:30pm ET/5:30pm PT | HaHaChallah: A Comedy Shabbat
Join OneTable along with Julia Weiss, Head Writer of Cards Against Humanity, Caleb Hearon, Shelby Wolstein, Gianmarco Soresi, and more for A Comedy Shabbat! Torah may be how we found our place in the promised land, and comedy may be how we found our place in America — so the theme for the night is ‘tackling our wandering with words, jokes, and laughter.’
During the night we’ll have live performances, sketches, and small group breakouts where you can share about times you’ve used humor to get through a tough spot or to cope with these scary COVID times.
8:30pm ET/5:30pm PT | Shabbat Sounds
Join us for an incredible evening of live music, right from the comfort of your home. We’re excited to bring you three new artists from around the country for our fourth night in the Shabbat Sounds series. We’ll begin with Shabbat rituals, then enjoy a 20-25 minute set from each artist. Engage with us off-screen or on-screen, however you feel most comfortable.

Join Sarah Langer, Certified Mindfulness & Wellbeing Coach, to practice mindfulness through meditation, gratitude and ritual. Participants will need: wine or grape juice, a salad with a minimum of 3 ingredients (i.e. greens, a veggie, dressing), a “dessert” (can be anything fun/special; fruit, ice cream, a cookie, WHATEVER!).

7:30pm ET/4:30 PT | Let’s Get Crafty: an upcycled Shabbat experience for @moreloveletters
Arts-and-crafts pro Maya Booth will show you how to make upcycled postcards out of cardboard food boxes you probably have around the house or in your recycle bin. This is a great opportunity to welcome Shabbat with the warm-and-fuzzies by making something meaningful, treating the earth kindly, and spreading love in a socially distanced world. You’ll need a clean cardboard food box (cereal, sparkling water & beer cartons, etc), scissors, permanent marker or pen, and a straight edge.
Reserve your spot
Join Abby Maroko for this evening of embodied love and compassion through sweet dynamic movement, selective stillness, and traditional Friday night blessings. Like the candles we will continue to light, we will warm ourselves with asanas; like the wine we will continue to raise, we will flow with abundance; and like the challah we will continue to bake, break, and share, we will rise up in resiliency, together.

Friday @ 7pm EDT | Movie Night + Chill: The Prince of Egypt
A wise person once said, “there can be miracles when you believe” and we believe that our ability to gather virtually and celebrate with community during this time is pretty much just that.

Reserve your spot.
