Hosting Shabbat can feel meaningful, intimidating, and everything in between. This three-part Shabbat Hosting Lab is designed for Jewish graduate students who want to build confidence, intention, and practicality around opening their homes and tables.

Apply by 10 p.m. Wednesday, February 4

Together, we’ll explore what it means to create gatherings that feel authentic to you and your community. We’ll think about Shabbat rituals—how to draw from tradition while adapting practices to fit your space, schedule, and values. Along the way, we’ll get concrete: sharing practical tips for meal planning, budgeting, and prep so hosting feels sustainable rather than overwhelming. Of course, dinner will be provided at all sessions.

Whether you’re hosting for the first time or looking to reimagine your Shabbat table, this series offers space to reflect, experiment, and leave with tools you can actually use
