This summer, we are celebrating a huge milestone: 10 years of OneTable! That’s a full DECADE of Shabbat dinners, Nourished by OneTable.

In our milestone tenth year, OneTable continues to be the leading Jewish social and spiritual engagement platform. We were designed to scale, driven by a desire to build a Shabbat movement, where the practice of opening our homes and sharing an intentional, Jewish experience with peers becomes the norm.

With an unparalleled scale and innovative approach, we operate across 700+ cities nationwide (and Toronto as of 2023!); 18 staffed with dedicated professionals, reaching nearly 1,500 neighborhoods. Since our founding in 2014, more than 275,000 people have registered as participants, collectively attending 142,000 OneTable Shabbat dinners, resulting in an extraordinary 1 million+ engagements since our inception. Our repeat participation rate grows annually, underscoring our expansive reach and deep impact.

The horrific attack on October 7 has had a significant impact on our growth. Our hi-tech and high-touch approach allowed us to quickly connect with OneTable hosts and guests and assess and respond to their changing needs. Since that time, more Jewish young adults have sought out the support of Shabbat and connections with other young adults at unprecedented rates.

Party Like it’s Our Sha-Birthday

For our annual major donors and major donor prospects, we are creating an unforgettable evening marking 10 years of Jewish joy with OneTable. We’ll honor our first decade of impact and celebrate our outgoing board chair Rob Orley in our original OneTable style. And for anyone wondering how to celebrate along with us, we’d love for you to support us into our second decade by investing in OneTable today.
