- Explore the Calendar: Browse our upcoming schedule to choose the event format and date that fits your plans. We host gatherings across Manhattan and Brooklyn at partner venues, including Jewish-owned restaurants, bars, and creative spaces.
- Submit Your Application: Every gathering has its own dedicated application link. Because seats are limited and room builds are deliberate, we read every application submitted.
- Receive Your Invitation: Approved guests receive a ticket confirmation containing the precise venue address, start time, and any specific details for the evening.

Event Formats and Pricing Breakdown
We offer several distinct event styles throughout the year, keeping every gathering approachable, social, and distinctly Shabbat Club. There are no recurring membership fees to join our community; guests pay strictly per event ticket.
Friday Night Dinners
Our signature Friday night dinner parties are designed as a full night out. Guests start with cocktails and mingling, followed by traditional candle lighting, challah, and wine. The main event is a full seated dinner with hand-arranged table settings designed to foster effortless conversation among guests who haven't met yet. When space permits, the evening transitions into music and dancing. Tickets for Friday Night Dinners are $118.
Almost Shabbat Mixers
Hosted on Thursday nights at Jewish-owned bars, restaurants, and creative spaces around NYC, Almost Shabbat provides a flexible, standing-room environment. Guests enjoy drinks and culturally Jewish food offerings while moving freely around the space. These casual mixers cost $54 per ticket.
Jewish Holiday Celebrations
From 500-person Purim parties and Hanukkah cocktail events to intimate Passover Seders and Rosh Hashanah dinners, our holiday programming balances authentic cultural rituals with high-energy social settings. Holiday event tickets are $72.
Shvitz Club & Interactive Socials
Reimagining an old Jewish New York ritual, Shvitz Club gathers guests at local bathhouses for steam rooms, cold plunges, and conversation. Shvitz Club tickets are $72. We also host additional interactive events, including museum tours starting at $18, karaoke nights, bagel brunches, and local outings.
Trips & Weekends Away
For members looking to travel beyond the city, Shabbat Club organizes larger group experiences. These include our popular three-day "Wet Hot Hebrew Summer" adult camp weekend in the Poconos, volunteer trips in Israel, baseball outings, and cultural field trips, with trip pricing extending up to $1,000 depending on the itinerary.

Guest Vetting & How Applications Work
Shabbat Club is open to young professionals and welcomes everyone, whether you are deeply connected to your Jewish heritage or simply looking for warm, culturally Jewish social experiences.
Because space at our partner venues is intimate, every gathering features a tailored guest list. We do not use randomized automated ticketing. Instead, our team reviews incoming submissions individually to create balanced, dynamic tables where attendees can build genuine connections. Popular nights fill quickly, so submitting your application early for any listed date on our Shabbat Club homepage is strongly recommended.
