One Table, an organization that empowers men and women in their 20s and 30s to envision new rituals and build Jewish community through Shabbat dinner, has released a new episode in its 12-month video series.

In collaboration with the Jewish Food Society, it highlights three different kinds of Shabbat bread from around the world, exploring different food histories. These include dabo, kubaneh and challah.

Along with the two-minute video tour of Shabbat bread, OneTable has also a curated resource page all about savoring Shabbat, including “The Memory Dinner” and “From Generation to Generation” Shabbat guides, mindful eating resources, blogs and more.

The latest Pew Research Study on Jewish Americans in 2020 affirmed that young Jewish adults are spiritually connected and crave community, though not necessarily within institutional walls. OneTable’s DIY approach to Shabbat—tailored support, coaching and online resources to make ritual personally meaningful, plus financial boosts in the form of “Nourishment Credits” if cost is a barrier for hosts—enable both host and guest to create personalize dinner/community experiences.

“The outrage only exposes how the press and those poisoned by anti-Israel propaganda will twist anything to blame the Jews,” Lizzy Savetsky told JNS.
Israel said that it “firmly rejects” the charges, which it said targeted the Jewish state “camouflaged as measures against violence.”
Pro-Israel groups sponsored 14 congressional trips to the Jewish state, accounting for more than a quarter of the $1.62 million spent on such travel through April.
The New Haven Police Department told JNS that Paul Smith is accused of targeting three Jews, shoving a fourth person who tried to intervene, throwing a rolled-up newspaper at them and of having “pointed at the yarmulke one of the victims was wearing and slapped it off his head, causing it to fall on the ground.”
“Equal protection under the law demands consistency, not selective application,” Jayne Zirkle of EndJewHatred told JNS.
“Those who seek to advance the objectives of foreign terrorist organizations should expect a swift and coordinated response from federal law enforcement,” stated the U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey.
