Shabbat in July: Celebrating 125 Years

It doesn’t have to be fancy or a big production. Just a Shabbat meal at your table, surrounded by family, friends and the people you love.

This July, we’re inviting you to help us meet a special challenge: 125 Shabbat gatherings in honor of the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia’s 125th anniversary.

Register your private Shabbat lunch or dinner as part of this community-wide celebration and help demonstrate the strength and vibrancy of Jewish life across Greater Philadelphia.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

• Choose your date in July
• Invite friends, family, neighbors or colleagues
• Receive a complimentary Shabbat kit with candles, matches and conversation starters
• Gather, connect and enjoy the magic of Shabbat

WHY PARTICIPATE?

Whether this would you be your first time hosting Shabbat or it’s already a cherished part of your weekly tradition, participating is simple. All you need is a table, a few people and a willingness to create meaningful time together.

By hosting, you’ll help strengthen connections across our community and be part of a shared celebration of Jewish Philadelphia — 125 years strong and still gathering, welcoming, and growing together.
