Frequently Asked Questions
Who is welcome?
If you’re interested in being part of a Jewish community and meeting new people, you should be At The Table! You may recognize some faces, or not, but the idea is to create a community together.
What makes it feel like Shabbat?
Where does it take place?
Dinners will take place in private homes in and around Princeton. If you’d like to host an upcoming dinner, please indicate that on our contact form when you RSVP!
How often will dinners take place?
For now, once a month. We’re happy to revisit based on your feedback!
WHAT’S THE ORIGIN OF THE GROUP?
We started Together at the Table because, even with one of us newly arrived in Princeton and the other settled for just over a decade, we both realized we were missing the feeling of a warm, culturally Jewish community. Join Together At The Table - let’s build connections that feel natural both around the table and the community.
We’ll begin the evening by gathering around the table to welcome Shabbat with the traditional blessings over the candles, wine, and challah. Once we’re seated, a relaxed, family‑style dinner unfolds — no speeches, no pressure, just good food and easy conversation.
Throughout the meal, you’ll have the chance to connect with the other guests, share stories, and discover common interests that make the table feel warm and familiar.
What's for dinner?
The host will make a kosher-style entree (no shellfish, pork or mixing meat & dairy, please) and guests will coordinate with the host to bring sides, appetizers, beverages, challah and dessert.
If you have dietary restrictions, we ask that you bring your own meal to ensure you’re comfortable.
