About OneTable

OneTable is a North American nonprofit founded in 2014 that empowers people who don’t yet have a consistent Shabbat dinner practice to build one that feels authentic, sustainable, and valuable. Often described as “Airbnb for Shabbat dinner,” OneTable runs an online platform where hosts post Friday night dinners and guests find and join tables in their neighborhoods — turning an ancient weekly ritual into an accessible, modern entry point into Jewish life and community.

The organization’s core audience is young adults in their 20s and 30s, but OneTable has expanded with dedicated tracks for midlife and older participants, including a 40+ platform and a “50ish+” / OneTable Together experience. Hosts receive high-touch coaching from the OneTable Shabbat Journey team, “nourishment” credits to help cover the cost of a meal, and an extensive library of original guides — Shabbat ritual cards, blessings, mindfulness and breathing practices, holiday and themed dinner guides, and recipes.

OneTable is deliberately decentralized: the platform is national and online, while field staff and local partnerships anchor activity in hub communities including New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Chicago, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Miami, Palm Beach, Phoenix, Colorado, Los Angeles, the Bay Area, and Toronto. Dinners have taken place in more than 700 cities and towns across the United States and Canada.

Since launch, OneTable has supported well over 180,000 Shabbat dinners and more than 300,000 unique participants, and partners widely with Jewish Federations, synagogues, JCCs, and foundations on community-wide initiatives such as Shabbat Across Atlanta.
