Shabbat for Israel

300 Shabbat tables across Canada

Join us on Friday, April 24 as our community comes together for Shabbat For Israel, a special evening honoring the spirit, resilience, and joy of Israel in celebration of Yom Ha'atzmaut.

This year, we're inviting community members to open their homes and host a Shabbat for Israel dinner. Our goal is to see 300 Shabbat tables across Canada. Whether you gather a few friends or fill your table, your Shabbat meal becomes part of a global tapestry of unity and support for Israel. 

Light the candles. Share a meal. Celebrate Israel. 

Information and a sign up to host a Shabbat Dinner appears below. 

Hosts are provided with a hosting box, which includes a Shabbat Guide, decorations, recipes, and discussion cards. Hosts will also receive a small host's gift as a thank you for their hospitality.
