October Shabbat Dinner
A welcoming Friday night at Morristown Jewish Center with a Shabbat service, a home-cooked dinner by Cantor Shana and time to meet fellow Jewish young adults.
Then $18Host approval required
Come for Shabbat. Leave knowing a few more people.
Join hosts Jessica Kiedes and Paula, Jewish Young Community (JYC) New Jersey and Morristown Jewish Center for an evening of community, prayer, tradition and a home-cooked meal by Cantor Shana. Jewish young adults ages 21–39ish, young professionals and graduate students are welcome. Come solo or bring a friend; no membership or prior Shabbat experience is required.
A local table can become a local community.
JYC created this dinner as a low-pressure first stop for Jewish adults ages 21–39 in Morris County—no membership, no dues and no assumed level of Shabbat experience.
Presented by Jewish Young Community (JYC), a project of Morristown Jewish Center Beit Yisrael.
Two acts. One shared table.
