Host and Hostess Needed
Once again, we’re looking for generous hosts and hostesses to gather a group of 6-7 friends and acquaintances to provide a Sabbat dinner for students at Hillel at San Jose State. The words, “now is more important than ever before” ring hollow sometimes, but this year they hold true – with all the antisemitism we read about (and maybe experience ourselves), we need to provide these students with a safe place to gather and cement their Jewish identities. Let’s ensure that Friday nights are such a place for students at San Jose State, Santa Clara University and West Valley, DeAnza and Foothill colleges.
Please sign up to cook or sponsor a Shabbat Dinner for the 2025-26 school year. Available dates are as follows:
-
- September 12 — Karaoke Shabbat
- October 10 – Sukkot Shabbat
- December 12 – Hanukkah Shabbat
- April 3 – Passover Shabbat – we need volunteers to cook the ritual and accompaniment dishes
- May 8 – Lag B’Omer Shabbat and BBW
We encourage you to gather your friends, fellow Havurah members, or acquaintances to host an evening. We have individuals who’ve stepped up and would like to partner with a group. We’d love to get some new hands participating in this volunteer opportunity.
Please sign up to cook or sponsor a Shabbat Dinner for the 2025-26 school year. Respond to women@beth-david.org for more information and to find and secure an available date!
