Just as Shabbat is an opportunity to pause from the work of creation and restore ourselves, plant-based living is a way to nourish ourselves and the world around us. Jewish tradition teaches us to care for our health, have compassion for animals, and protect our environment. OneTable invites you to bring those values to your table by hosting Vegan Shabbats.

Host Reflections

“Eating vegan or practicing Shabbat once a week are steps that feel sustainable toward slowing down. Choosing to do the best we can with whatever our means are: that is intentionality and mindfulness.” -Kobi

“Having an entirely plant-based meal gives me a sense of safety, just as Shabbat provides me a sense of safety. When these two are combined, there’s an even larger elevated sense of security and calm for me. I can imagine the world as it could be.” -Leigh

“Every choice you make shapes your lifestyle, and veganism is something you must choose to engage with multiple times per day. Shabbat is similar: it is a choice, that becomes a practice, that can change your lifestyle.” -Nicholas
