Let OneTable help you set the table, raise your glass, and tell your story this Passover. We’ve pulled together new resources to support you, are offering a variety of Passover classes, and are Nourishing Seders and Passover Shabbat with special deadlines. Post to host your very own Seder and Passover Shabbat today.
OneTable is Nourishing Seders on April 22 + 23 and Passover Shabbat on April 26! OneTable hosts can receive Nourishment ($10/person, up to $100 per dinner) for one Seder (first or second night — your choice) and for Passover Shabbat.
In the spirit of welcoming, we encourage you to share the love + open up your table to as many Passover guests as you can. If you post two Seders, you’ll receive Nourishment for the one that has the most RSVPs.

Passover is a time to welcome guests and create community. But how do we do that at this difficult time? Join us for a lunch + learn style talk with former OneTable Rabbi Jess Minnen to delve into what the Jewish value of Welcoming Guests (hachnasat orchim) and the idea of Dayenu, or enough, have to do with preparing for Passover this year.

Sitting down for Seder this year might feel more fraught with so many different viewpoints around the war in Israel and Gaza. As we prepare to celebrate a holiday symbolizing freedom, you may have more questions than answers for this year’s Seder. We invite you to join a space where all questions are welcome and where we can share, listen, and support each other.

Craft a new-ish Passover practice that elevates the theme of renewing life! The past decades have seen many new items added alongside the traditional Seder plate items: an orange, olives, and even sticks and stones. We’ll reacquaint ourselves with the items typically found on a Seder plate and experiment with a new practice.

How does hosting a Seder or Shabbat with OneTable work?
If you are not already a OneTable Shabbat dinner host, sign up here by April 11. (Applications take up to three business days to process.) Once you’re a host, you can post your dinner here.

What is Nourishment?
Nourishment is a financial gift OneTable offers hosts to elevate their dinners. It comes in the form of digital gift cards and is not meant to cover the full cost of the dinner. We also offer Books as Nourishment — a great option for recipes and framing to help you plan your dinner! Extra Nourishment can be donated back to OneTable. The return of your extra Nourishment money to OneTable will help us Nourish even more Friday night Shabbat dinners across the country, and provide everyone who wants one a seat at the table.
Dinners are eligible for $10/seat up to $100 for Shabbat and first or second night Seders.
When do I need to choose my Nourishment?
The deadline to select Nourishment is Tuesday, April 16 at 11:59pm for Seders on April 22-23, and Tuesday, April 23 at 11:59pm for Passover Shabbat on April 26.
Can I host more than once during Passover?
You can receive Nourishment for one Seder (on April 22 or 23) and one Passover Shabbat dinner (on April 26). If you post Seders for both April 22 + 23, you’ll receive Nourishment for the Seder that has the most RSVPs.
Can I have my parents/kids/non-Jewish friends at my table?
OneTable empowers young adults in their 20s and 30s to build community and deepen their Jewish practice by gathering for peer-led Shabbat dinners.
That being said, we know Passover is a major holiday, and we want you to spend it with the people who YOU want to celebrate with – guests of any and all religions and cultures are welcome, as well as folks of all ages.
