I was new to the city and didn't know anyone. Through Ohel Avraham, I found a family that welcomed me like their own. It changed my Shabbat completely.

Looking for Shabbat · Friday
A table always has room for one more. A city full of strangers becomes a community the moment a door opens and a seat is offered.

We have extra seats at our table every week. Now those seats are filled with wonderful people we would never have met otherwise. It enriches our Shabbat.

As a student far from home, Shabbat could feel lonely. This platform gave me a community. Now I look forward to every Friday night.
