About the evening
A curated Shabbat table, not an event.
Young Zionist Shabbat brings together a small group of young Zionists for a proper Shabbat dinner — candles, challah, wine, and a table set for real conversation.
The evening is built around three things: a meal worth lingering over, conversation about Israel and the future of our community, and the chance to meet peers who take both seriously. Guests also connect directly with the work of Jewish National Fund-USA and the people behind JNFuture.
“Thirty people, one table, and a conversation that continues long after dessert.”
