Join a community dedicated to sharing the warmth and tradition of Shabbat dinners. Discover a table near you, request a seat, or host your own — all in one place.
Every member is verified through their Shul, a Jewish organisation, or a personal reference in the community before being approved. Hosts review and approve each guest, and exact addresses are only shared once a booking is confirmed.
In a world that never slows down, Shabbat does. On Friday night, candles are lit, the table is set, and family and friends gather together. Phones are put away. Work is paused. We make Kiddush, share a meal, sing, laugh, and really talk.
Shabbat gives us something modern life rarely offers: space to breathe and reconnect — with Hashem, with our families, and with each other.
“More than the Jewish people have kept Shabbat, Shabbat has kept the Jewish people.”
Our mission is to ensure that no Jew celebrates alone.
Shabbat Table transforms the way the Jewish community connects for Shabbat — bringing hosts and guests together, fostering a spirit of inclusion, and making sure everyone has a place at the table.
Shabbat meals are more than just a tradition; they are a cornerstone for building lasting relationships and nurturing a sense of belonging. These gatherings provide a unique opportunity for individuals to connect, share stories, and create memories that transcend barriers. By participating in Shabbat meals, community members experience the warmth of shared traditions and the joy of coming together in a spirit of unity.
Shabbat Table is dedicated to building meaningful community connections and sharing the beauty of Shabbat.

Our mission is to create a welcoming space where everyone can experience the warmth of a shared meal — strengthening community well-being, and making it easier for people to connect and build lasting friendships through meaningful Shabbat dinners.
