Pause to Savor

Sometimes, a meal is just about the food. But isn’t it better when it’s about so much more?Food can drop us right into an experience – a warm hug, a fond memory, a portal in time. Sometimes, the foods we share tell our stories for us, beyond words. They reveal feelings of comfort, joy, sorrow, and resilience.

During Shabbat, OneTable invites you to celebrate the foods that make you you. Explore the journeys of the bites that nourish you and deepen your relationship with the foods that tell your (hi)stories.

There is immense power and potential when we gather with delicious food and inspiring community at the Shabbat dinner table.

Together with Jewish Food Society, this month we’re sharing Shabbat breads from around the world from their digital recipe archive. We’re highlighting dabo, kubaneh, and challah, and we invite you to explore the journeys of the bites that tell your (hi)stories.
