Shabbat @home

Additional Details

Each month a host from our community opens their home to a small group of people to share in the tradition of shabbat. Judaism You Way helps facilitate the registration process and then our host takes it from there by coordinating with guests food and other details for an intimate shabbat experience.

Please note: check the registration form (link below) for more details about upcoming Shabbat @Homes.

Interested in hosting a future Shabbat @home gathering? Read the information below and email Rabbi Caryn: caryn@judaismyourway.org!

What does hosting entail? As the host, you decide what kind of potluck items you’d like guests to bring and how many folks you can comfortably accommodate. We’ll advertise your Shabbat @home dinner and collect registrations, so that you know who is coming for dinner.

Because Judaism Your Way is an inclusive community where everyone is welcome, please assume that at least half of the participants at your table might not be Jewish, might not be familiar with Shabbat blessings or with Hebrew, and might not have childhood Jewish experiences or memories to share.

We ask that hosts help participants feel comfortable by meeting people where they are with love, respect, generosity and inclusion, recognizing that there are many right ways to be and do Jewish. To learn more about our approach and practice, check out our Torah of Inclusion statement, particularly the section about participants (right before the conclusion).
