Dear 20's & 30's Community,


Do you enjoy Shabbat dinners? Like to meet new people? Want to volunteer for your community while meeting other 20's & 30's? We have a way that you can do it all!… Become a "Shabbat at Home" host!


About the JCC 20's & 30's "Shabbat at Home" Program:
Shabbat at Home dinners are sponsored by The JCC In Manhattan and take place in the private residences gracious members of our community on the Upper West Side, who volunteer their apartments to provide a place for young Jews to meet, eat and enjoy a comfortable Shabbat experience in an intimate setting. Hosts can usually accommodate anywhere from 15-25 people at one time in their homes. The success of the Shabbat at Home dinner program depends upon having someone like you to lend your home to the JCC 20's & 30's community, no matter the apartment size or the dining capacity. We need you!


We are looking for Shabbat dinner hosts & homes!
This is your opportunity to get involved with your community, enable a program cherished by all who take part, and have an enriching Shabbat experience of your own. You, the Shabbat Dinner Host, will barely have to lift a finger in your role as host.


Consider:

• Delicious kosher food is catered and delivered directly to your home at your convenience on the day of your Shabbat dinner.
• Plates, cups, plastic ware, drinks and dessert are all included.
• The JCC also provides wine, Shabbat benchers, yarmulkes, and challah.
• The JCC takes care of the registration/payment process for all guests.
• A JCC staff member or a rabbinic student will be present to help lead the ritual aspects of the dinner, speak on the themes of Shabbat, and facilitate conversation amongst the guests.

Sounds Great! I Want to Host A Shabbat. What do I do?

• Volunteer by contacting us.
• Let us know how many people you think that you can comfortably accommodate. Formal dining table/chairs are NOT required. Food is set buffet style and guests can eat on a combination of chairs and sofas, etc.
• Before Shabbat, receive the catering delivery at your home and keep the food stored/warm until the evening.
• Welcome staff and guests into your home.
• Meet, Greet, Eat and Enjoy Shabbat!
• Keep the leftovers
