Alright r/baltimore, you came through for Friendsgiving and because Jews have a carb-centric holiday every week, itβs happening again tonight. Hosting at my pet-friendly home this evening 6:30 to whenever.
BYOB, Iβll get a big bottle of egg nog, and we will play some games and eat some fresh home-baked bread, sopa de ajo with matzo balls and farm-fresh eggs straight from my backyard dinosaur flock.
You can bring anything meatless to share, toss me a couple bucks, but itβs not a requirement.
DM for the deets!
I am in Ramat gan.
My Rabbi wants me to participate in Shabbat and Iβm not sure to what extent he means. Iβd like to do it sooner rather than later, and he is non responsive usually.
I know I shouldnβt completely refrain from work (lighting a match or something). I tried that during Shabbat this weekend and it went well. But Iβm wondering if itβs permissible for a conversion student to have Shabbat dinner and Havdalah on their own?
My professor invited me to Shabbat dinner with his family, and I don't want to show up empty-handed. I'm not Jewish though, so I don't really know what an appropriate small gift would be. I've read that flowers are not a good choice. My next thought was a nice wine?
Any suggestions for what I could bring? (Quick note: my professor is Modern Orthodox, and I'm pretty sure they keep kosher). Thanks in advance for any suggestions! I'm really excited :)
As the title indicates: Iβm might get invited to spend Friday night shabbat dinner at a rabbiβs home (theyβre hasidic) and I wonder what I could bring as a guest gift?
The next shop specialized in kosher products is really far away, local supermarkets barely have kosher produce. (Iβm in central Switzerland)
They have 7 kids (oldest is off to a yeshiva abroad) the others are ages 2-13 ~, maybe I could get them something? Otherwise itβs just flowers, which seems a bit meh...
The one thing I often gift are home made spirits but Iβm not sure they would be kosher?
We make ΘuicΔ (from plums), ViΘinatΔ (sour cherries) and PΓ‘linka (plums or abricots) at home. I know if it has been in a non-kosher wine barrel itβs not kosher, but apart from that? Are there other things I should be aware of?
Χ©ΧΧΧ Χ’ΧΧΧΧ,

Hello Bay Areans, I want to extend an invitation broadly to attend our alcohol-free Shabbat dinner on Friday.
What is Shabbat? Great question, itβs the weekly sabbath/time of rest in Jewish observance. It starts Friday night, and goes thru Saturday night.
Do I have to be Jewish? Nope! You can be Jewish, Jew-ish, Christian, Wiccan, Muslim, atheist, Pastafarian - we all gotta eat, right?
Why dinner? Well, why not dinner? But in all seriousness, itβs nice to have this weekly celebration with some friendly folks and delicious food.
Food you say? Yes! We will be serving dinner, including a butternut squash soup, salad, and main course. It will be vegetarian (ie kosher-style). Also challah (a delicious braided bread) and dessert.
But no booze? Thatβs correct. This time of year can be more difficult for those who are abstaining - whether its company holiday parties where everyoneβs offering you a drink or the stress of family get-togethers, it can suck. Also, we live up a winding and dark road, so Iβd like everyone to return home alive.
And the cost for this magical dinner in the redwoods? FREE. Thatβs correct, $Free.99 is the cost to you.
What can I bring? Yourself! And if you wish, your fave flavor of La Croix or Spindrift if you want to share. We will have selections of both, plus sparkling cider should folks want it, and good olβ Hetch Hetchy tap water.
What should I leave at home? Please donβt bring pets (we have plenty of dogs), divisive or hateful rhetoric, or alcohol.

Did anyone else feel that this argument was really unrealistic and totally out of character for both of them?
I could not imagine Harry being so disrespectful to Charlotte given how much he adores her and how thankful he was that Charlotte converted to Judaism. She had clearly worked so hard and the dinner was really important to her. I'd be pissed off if I was her. His behaviour was unforgivable.
I was completely on her side, up until she said 'Do you know how we look? Do you know what people out there think when they see us together?'
I also couldn't imagine Charlotte saying something so mean and I felt it was out of character. She clearly adored him. I also think it was unforgivable- how do you come back from a comment like that?
I just felt like this scene was written just to create some drama. Harry and Charlotte were my favourite couple and I loved their story arc, but this incident just seemed a bit out of left-field.
Anyone have some yummy and fairly easy dinner ideas for Shabbat dinner? Bonus points for kid friendly!
Hello LDP residents,
I am a local rabbi and this Friday the temple is putting on something a special. After the youth club came up to me and asked if they can invite their friends from other religions to our Jewish synagogue, I decided to a host an event for all religions. Everyone is invited, and before services we will have a big dinner. With Matzah Soup, Brisket, Challah and plenty more food. Enough for the whole town! At services we are featuring our award winning adult and youth choir. Feel free to bring the whole family.
Shabbat Shalom everyone and I look forward to seeing everyone at 6 at Temple Shalom.
Does anyone know any good place in the city (preferably flatiron area and below) for someone in their mid twenties to do Shabbat dinner and meet nice people and women?
The CEO at my work invited a few of us to his home for Shabbat dinner tonight. One of my coworkers is bringing a kosher tarte. I was thinking of bringing kosher wine. Is that acceptable? Are there other better options to bring as a guest?
