NYC Jewish Holiday & Purim Party Events

Jewish Holiday Parties in NYC for Young Professionals

Fridays are for friends — and so is Purim, Rosh Hashanah, and Hanukkah. Shabbat Club is a culturally Jewish pop-up dinner party series and community hosted at Jewish-owned businesses across NYC. If you're searching for where to celebrate Jewish holidays with a young lively crowd in Manhattan, this is the page: no synagogue membership, no dues, no obligation — just an application, a room full of people your age, and a holiday done right.

We've hosted nearly 100 events across New York, Los Angeles, Miami, and Tel Aviv, ranging from intimate 18-person Shabbat dinners to 500-person Purim parties. Every holiday event is built the same way our Friday dinners are: great food, music, tradition, and a room designed to make new connections happen fast.

Holidays We Celebrate

Shabbat Club hosts pop-up parties and dinners around the major points on the Jewish calendar, including:

• Rosh Hashanah — dinner-party format, welcoming the new year with a curated table
• Purim — our biggest night of the year, scaling up to 500-person parties
• Hanukkah — [OWNER: CONFIRM FORMAT — dinner, mixer, or party — AND TYPICAL GUEST COUNT]
• Passover — [OWNER: CONFIRM WHETHER THIS IS A SEDER-STYLE DINNER, A MIXER, OR BOTH]
• [ADDITIONAL_HOLIDAY_LIST — website text references "Passover, an…" and cuts off; confirm the full list of holidays hosted, e.g., Sukkot, Simchat Torah, Tu B'Av, etc.]

Each holiday event runs alongside our regular calendar of Shabbat dinner parties, Almost Shabbat mixers, Shvitz Club (bathhouse takeover) nights, karaoke, museum tours, volunteer trips, and the three-day adult summer camp in the Poconos.

What a Shabbat Club Holiday Party Looks Like

Scale. Holiday nights are where Shabbat Club goes big. Purim alone has scaled to 500-person parties — a very different room than the long-table, 18-person Friday dinners, but built with the same intention: culturally Jewish, high-energy, and open to everyone.

Venue. Events are hosted at Jewish-owned businesses across NYC — restaurants, bars, and venues that get a direct boost from every ticket and every guest. [OWNER: NAME SPECIFIC VENUES AND NEIGHBORHOODS USED FOR PAST HOLIDAY EVENTS, e.g., "Purim 2025 at VENUE_NAME in NEIGHBORHOOD."]

Format. Some holidays (like Rosh Hashanah) lean toward the seated dinner-party format with a menu, a blessing, and assigned seating. Others (like Purim) lean toward a bigger, mixer-style party. [OWNER: CONFIRM FORMAT PER HOLIDAY SO THIS SECTION CAN STATE IT EXACTLY.]

Crowd. Open to young professionals and welcoming to everyone — Jewish or not. Whether you're deeply connected to your heritage or just starting to explore it, the room is built for people who want to meet new people around a shared cultural moment, not attend a religious service.
