We are the first global community for shared food experiences, bringing people together around dining tables and food activities wherever they go. Harnessing the relationship between food, people, cities, and the world – we want to spread happiness through the power of sharing food, in your everyday life and travels.
Our mission is to encourage people to engage in meaningful moments – self-reflection, immersion in nature, cultural discovery, celebrations with family and friends – because we believe that connecting to the world is more precious now than ever.
Culinary experiences can be full of magic, joy, laughter, exhilaration, authenticity, and learning. We want you to be amazed by the food you eat, and enriched by the people you eat with!

Shabbat of a Lifetime Program
Shabbat of a Lifetime was created by a team of Jewish educators with the goal of developing a Shabbat evening program for incoming tourists of all backgrounds to experience an authentic Friday night in Jerusalem. At Shabbat of a Lifetime, we combine the personal touch of home-hospitality with a high standard of professionalism and attention to detail. On the Shabbat of a Lifetime program, one will discover the beauties of Jerusalem, learn about Friday night traditions, and make personal connections with families living in Israel. The Shabbat of a Lifetime program offers an opportunity for incoming tourists of all backgrounds to experience an Authentic Shabbat (Jewish Sabbath) at the home of a host family in the heart of Jerusalem. Shabbat of a Lifetime participants receive an informative introduction to Shabbat while dining on a five course meal with their hosts.

Fabrangen Havurah
Fabrangen is a community devoted to Torah, community service, and social justice activism. We warmly welcome everyone regardless of gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, religious background or affiliation, nationality, disability, or age.
We are a havurah, a fellowship that is led by its members, not by one rabbi (although we have members who are rabbis). Our services are full of vitality and depth because Fabrangen members are engaged leaders and participants.
Founded in 1971, we are interwoven into the larger Jewish community of the Washington area, but small enough that you will feel connected and appreciated.
OneTable
Our social dining platform makes it easy for you to become the producer of your own experiences, and for Shabbat dinner to become a platform for community building.
We provide simple DIY tools so hosts can get right to welcoming people to a Shabbat dinner in their home, so guests can savor a Friday meal, and for all to experience unique events for Shabbat dinners right in their neighborhood. We do this because we believe good food and good conversation with great people is simply good for you.
Led by our core values of joy, welcoming, and elevation, we envision a whole generation of young people slowing down, getting together, unplugging from the week, creating intention in their lives, and building meaningful communities.
