“Life can be busy, but OneTable helps me prioritize Shabbat by making it more financially accessible to provide for my community.”
Mel P, Bay Area
“Shabbat has made a positive impact on my life and I’m really grateful to OneTable for helping with that. It is intimidating to approach a sacred practice without a background in it and OneTable helps you breakdown that anxiety—it really made my life better.”
Jay S, LA Host
“OneTable has helped me find instant community and connections in unexpected places. My Jewish life is much richer thanks to OneTable.”
Mark W., Phoenix Host
“I hadn’t hosted a Shabbat meal in several months and I was ready to open my home once again. It is especially important to celebrate Shabbat while global antisemitism is rising. Jewish traditions and pride are incredibly important. Shabbat is special. It is holy. I invited friends who love celebrating Shabbat and make me feel safe. We ate delicious foods that have cultural and symbolic meaning to many Jewish people (ie- Challah, hummus, kugel, sambusaks).”
Dina R, Colorado Host
“My synagogue, Congregation Bonai Shalom in Boulder, CO, recently launched a new effort to connect community members through hosting Shabbat meals at members’ homes. At each meal, we make sure to include new members, as well. My husband and I recently hosted a Friday night dinner, with several long standing members and a new couple, who moved to Boulder during COVID. We had a lovely evening and it was so nice to enjoy good food and deepen our connection, including a more personal connection with newer members. We are excited about using the OneTable Together platform to connect with each other outside the synagogue walls.”
Shari E, Boulder
“At my first dinner, I invited a student from Georgia Tech, where I work. I had just met her randomly and heard about how difficult it was to be a Jewish student on campus. She ended up coming with her mom, and now her mom Carol and I are developing a friendship. We just met for lunch this week.”
Andrea Gappell, Atlanta
“Shabbat has graciously kept me at ease through emotional times, and has kept me nourished in more ways than one…L’chaim to changing lives, OneTable at a time.”
Sari F, Chicago Host
“I love OneTable, I love the mission. I feel connected and appreciate the support from OneTable. OneTable was the first organization I heard from and continued to hear from since October 7th. I feel seen and connected. and I wanted to shout that out. Introducing new people to the platform is excellent; folks need this space. Also, it reminds me of how easy it is; OneTable makes it so easy to practice Shabbat. I got Jake Cohen’s new cookbook. I dont have to think about what to make. The combo of extra support in a lot of ways from OneTable to be able to do things with low lift. It’s so nourishing. I’m a fundraising consultant. I love your work and I want to see it supported.”
Alexa D, Atlanta Host
“I couldn’t find any other place to go, and I decided to just do it (Shabbat) myself. It was something I always wanted to do, and never had the opportunity to.”
Orly B, Cincinnati Host
“My friends and I rotate Shabbat hosting!…I really like the home-y and relaxed feeling Shabbat creates. Shabbat is a way to disconnect, be present and talk to people. It helps me make a distinction from the rest of the week. I really like OneTable because you can keep track of who is coming to your Shabbat. It helps you actually know your numbers when you are hosting. I have seen a lot of OneTable resources, but I would like to start using them.”
Sara H, Miami Host
“I was recently invited to the inaugural OneTable event for those over 50. It was a wonderful experience of like-minded individuals coming together to celebrate Shabbat. Our discussions were not of a religious nature, and some may never observe. Our Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County members hosted this intimate dinner party. The conversations centered around an ethical question our hostess had requested each couple bring. For those who might have forgotten, a question was provided. It was lively conversation, delicious food, and wine and lasted about two and a half hours. It was a great way to begin the weekend.”
Lynn K, Palm Beach
“OneTable has encouraged me to make Shabbat a part of my life. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, but because of OneTable, I’ve really brought it front and center.”
Jodi S, Palm Beach Host
“Today The only Jewish observance I really have is Shabbat dinners. And trying to meet someone Jewish, that’s it. It reminds me of home, heritage, home connecting with friends. It is a very wholesome family vibe. Brings people together. This is the closest I have to having a family environment. And it nourishes me.”
Shaya S, Boca Host
“OneTable has inspired me to create my own Shabbat ritual. Before OneTable I did not have a Shabbat practice or understand the importance of slowing down in my week. Since creating my OneTable practice, I have hosted many dinners with others and alone. I have started lighting candles each week, even went to a candle making workshop and every other week braid a challah. I love the importance of Shabbat and the patience it brings to my life.”
Adam B, Detroit Host
“Enjoying Shabbat by disconnecting and unwinding and using this time to separate the traditional monotony that quarantine is bringing. Use this time to relax and refresh”.
Lindsay M, Pittsburgh host
“Our dinner was a wonderful gathering of old friends. I think everyone left with a full stomach and a lighter heart! I have another one planned for next week.”
Toby, Toronto Host
“OneTable has given me more of a motivation to practice Shabbat. I’ll sometimes go on the platform and see what’s happening for any given Friday in DC. Then, I end up getting inspired because I see all these other people are hosting Shabbat, and I think… okay maybe I should do it. It’s given me more of an excuse to participate.It’s so hard to walk into a space that you don’t feel 100% comfortable or yourself in and when you create that space for yourself, it can be super powerful.”
Allie K, DC Host
“My roommate and I definitely plan to host more meals, and the support from OneTable really helps us make that happen. fr Financially, the nourishment really gives us that confidence to make things ~extra special~ for Shabbos. But also the logistical & commitment help of the website’s RSVP structure + potluck feature have been huge in facilitating a meal/ bringing down that barrier to hosting. I’m so grateful that this website exists & am excited to continue hosting!”
Erika L, Baltimore Host
“All I can really say is thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart, for the extremely beautiful, hopeful, nourishing, and tangibly impactful support that you are offering to so many Jews in this time–particularly young adult Jews. There is so much chaos and pain in our world. What you are doing helps keep us afloat, remembering to take care of ourselves and each other; to eat well, rest our bodies, and take time for recharge; to recognize that even as we may feel isolated amidst the polarization, we are always connected to each other, to our ancestors, and to future generations through Shabbat. I am so grateful for Onetable’s support.”
Rena B., Philadelphia Host
Ben C
NY Host
“I love OneTable — it’s so easy: I can invite my friends and have new people and sometimes you’ll host and you’ll have an odd collection of people, but there will always still be people I love at the table. I’ve met some of my close friends through my Friday night dinners. I love the Jewish geography of it all, I love cooking, and making my home a place people enjoy coming to… it’s all exciting.”
“My wife and I didn’t know much about OneTable until a friend encouraged us to apply. Once we has that first Shabbat we realized how meaningful and great it was to have a time to set aside and rest from the week and catch up with our friends. Before the pandemic we never had Shabbat this frequently and felt way less dedication around Shabbat. Now it’s really exciting to get OneTable emails each week – they remind me that Shabbat is always coming. I’m so glad OneTable has given us a platform to actually do Shabbat every week.”
