Friday, January 25

We invite you to find meaning, to forge connections and to belong, by being host for Shabbat@Home.

We are looking for both hosts and guests for Shabbat dinner on January 25 as we strive to deepen community connections around the dinner table. Hosts, please consider opening your hearts and home by inviting guests to share a Shabbat dinner with you and your family. You can invite friends and colleagues. If you see someone in the halls of the temple, or a fellow religious school family, invite them. If you see someone in an adult education class or committee meeting and you'd like to get to know them better, invite them. If there are extra seats at your table, consider welcoming those who have signed up through our website to be guests. Dinners do not need to be fancy, but rather a chance to be together and get to know one another around the table.

Both guests and hosts can sign up HERE. 

Rockdale Temple will provide each host with challah, grape juice, prayer sheets, and discussion questions to help you break the ice. We will also pre-record and stream Shabbat services that evening.

Please note: we will not be having services at Rockdale Temple on January 25.

*We do have limited funding available to offset dinner costs. Rockdale Temple can offer up to $10/guest for the first 100 guests with dinner receipts and a photo of your group. For groups where the majority are under 35, dinner funding is available from onetable.org. You must register in advance, and may only receive reimbursement from one source.
