Host your next Shabbat Meal

Host a meal on a Friday night or Saturday and Birthright Israel NEXT picks up the tab!
Giving Taglit-Birthright Israel alumni hosting meals in the United States or Canada up to $18 per person for up to 16 people, NEXT Shabbat wants you to celebrate Shabbat your way. Redefine rest with a traditional family dinner or take a break from the daily grind with fifteen of your friends at a picnic in the park. Whether your dinner has four people or forty, is home-cooked or take-out, involves singing or just schmoozing, get creative and greet Shabbat with your own flair.

Shabbat brings together food, drink, music, and celebration. Traditionally candles are lit, bread is blessed and wine is drunk. Create your own rituals or reconnect to the old.
NEXT Shabbat allows you to take charge of your personal involvement in Jewish life and define and create your own community.
