You must already be an approved OneTable host and have hosted at least one dinner on the OneTable platform. If you’re not a OneTable host yet, please complete our quick Host Application.

Nourishment+ is for a specific public dinner (either “Public” or “Public – Host Approval”). This opportunity is not for private dinners.

There must be 15+ guests in attendance at your dinner.

Your dinner must meet at least one of the following goals:

• At least 25% of people at the table are new to OneTable.
• You are gathering around a specific theme or intention.
• You are intentionally trying out new rituals or exploring them in new ways.

Nourishment+ is for individuals only. If you are hosting on behalf of or in association with an organization, check out our Collabs page.

If your dinner meets all of these requirements, please post your dinner on our platform, and you will be prompted to make it eligible for Nourishment+ as you create it.

Your Nourishment+ dinner must be posted and submitted for review at least two weeks before the dinner, so we can fully set you up with everything you need for a seamless experience.

1. Post your Public or Public – Host Approval dinner on the OneTable platform at least two weeks before your dinner. If your dinner is eligible for Nourishment+, the platform will prompt you to complete additional eligibility questions.  We will review your elevated dinner within three business days. We will reach out to you if we have any follow-up questions or if we determine that your dinner isn’t eligible for Nourishment+. If your dinner is approved, we’ll email you to let you know it’s been published. 

Remember:

• Your dinner must be “Public” or “Public – Host Approval.”
• The minimum number of guests must be 15.
• Your dinner description must articulate the vibe of the event, what guests can expect (a schedule of the evening), accessibility notes, and any other information that might help someone know what to expect when they attend your Shabbat.

2. Select your Nourishment and get your RSVPs in and approved according to our normal deadlines. 

3. Most importantly, celebrate: enjoy your elevated OneTable Shabbat dinner!

By the Wednesday following your dinner (five days after), each host must send a short paragraph to community@onetable.org summarizing their Nourishment+ dinner and how the night went. If you took photos or videos, please send those too. Photos and videos are not required, as it is not in everyone’s Shabbat practice, but each host must send a summary of their elevated Shabbat dinner.

Example: Hey Leah, Shabbat Under the Stars was fantastic! A group of us rented a campsite at the Indiana Dunes State Park, made dinner over the camp stove, and brought some fun desserts that were camp-friendly. It was so amazing to get away from the city and have the chance to really unplug and be in nature. I don’t know if I will do another “destination Shabbat” as it takes more prep time to make it all work, but this was a great experience. I’m so glad people were hyped about the idea and agreed to get outside with me, too! Two of my friends had never heard about OneTable before, and I think they are going to apply to host.

You are eligible for Nourishment+ up to twice a month. If you are submitting for a second Nourishment+ dinner in the same month, the dinners should be primarily reaching different groups of people.

Nourishment+ is for individuals only. If you’re hosting on behalf of or in association with an organization, please check out our Collabs page.
