ABOUT

It's never been easier to celebrate Shabbat with your family, friends, and community.

Shabbat dinner is one of the most iconic and festive events of Jewish tradition. However, work and activity schedules can make it hard to plan your own Shabbat dinner.
That's where Friday Night Shabbat comes in.
Friday Night Shabbat is a new initiative offering free Shabbat dinners to families with young children (at least one child 12 or under) select Friday nights from September through May.

Dinners are hosted at various Jewish organizations throughout Cincinnati. Our partner organizations make this initiative possible. You can view all of this year's dinners below. Click more info to RSVP. RSVPs are preferred, but walk-ins are welcome.

Join us on Friday nights for an opportunity to:
- Enjoy Shabbat with a delicious meal
- Meet people and make new friends
- Celebrate your family's Jewish identity
- See how different organizations celebrate Shabbat


*One of our supporters, The American Israelite, is now offering a complimentary one-year subscription to Friday Night Shabbat families. Send an email to publisher@americanisraelite.com and mention Friday Night Shabbat along with your name and address

RSVPs are preferred, but you do not need to RSVP to attend.

A shabbat dinner at no cost hosted by a different organization each week.
