About Us

A place to find - and host - real Shabbat meals with people who feel like family.

Finding a Shabbat meal or Jewish event that truly fits you should not feel like a matter of luck. Today, it often still means searching through scattered WhatsApp groups, relying on friends and personal connections, or showing up to an event without really knowing who will be there or what the atmosphere will be like. This can be especially difficult for people who are new to a city, students, olim, travelers, and anyone who has not yet found a strong community. ShabbatTime was created to make finding the right table simpler, clearer, and more accessible.

With ShabbatTime, you can discover Shabbat meals and Jewish events, see who is hosting, and find experiences that better match your age, location, lifestyle, and preferences. Community members verify a phone number before they can host or join, reviews and reliability signals help build transparency over time, and exact addresses are only shared after participation has been approved. Whether you are looking for a Friday night table, a holiday event, or want to open your own home to others, the goal is to help everyone find an environment where they feel comfortable.

But ShabbatTime is not designed to keep you inside the app. Quite the opposite. We want the things that really matter to happen away from the screen - a good meal, an unexpected conversation, a new connection, new friends, and a community that grows through real-world encounters. If you leave at the end of the evening with more than a full plate - with someone new to know, a place you would like to return to, or a stronger sense of belonging - then for us, that is exactly the point.
