We want you to leave the Shabbat dinner table more deeply connected to the people around you, honoring the unique perspectives and holiness each person brings to this Shabbat.

This resource, built from work undertaken in partnership with CASJE (The Collaborative for Applied Studies in Jewish Education) and rooted in the findings of Extending the Table: What Shabbat Dinner Teaches Us About Social Connection, equips hosts and guests with practical tools to confidently facilitate and participate in difficult conversations at the Shabbat table, fostering a Friday night atmosphere rooted in respect, authenticity, curiosity, and empathy.
