Manhattan Jewish Social Events This Weekend

Fridays are for friends. Shabbat Club is a culturally Jewish pop-up dinner party series and community hosted at Jewish-owned businesses across NYC — and this page is where we post what's actually happening in Manhattan this weekend. No membership card, no public ticket line: every seat is applied for through that specific event's application link, and this calendar tells you which nights are open right now.

If you're a young professional in Manhattan looking for a Friday night table, a Saturday mixer, or a holiday party that isn't a synagogue service, start here.

Best Jewish Social Club Events in Manhattan for Young Professionals This Weekend

Shabbat Club runs nine distinct event formats, and several are built specifically for the young-professional crowd looking to meet people on a Friday or Saturday night in Manhattan:

• Shabbat dinner parties — long-table Friday dinners with candles, a blessing, assigned seating, and a menu built around the meal. These have ranged from intimate 18-person dinners to much larger holiday tables.
• Almost Shabbat mixers — bar-based happy hours and late nights, no dinner course, lower-commitment than a full sit-down dinner.
• Shvitz Club — a bathhouse takeover, steam-and-sauna social format.
• Karaoke nights — a looser, louder social format for meeting people outside a dinner-table setting.

Every one of these is application-based. You apply to a specific event's link, not to "Shabbat Club" as a whole — there's no recurring membership fee that unlocks every night.

Best Energetic Shabbat Events and Holiday Dinners in Manhattan This Weekend

For visitors specifically hunting for something bigger than a quiet dinner, Shabbat Club also hosts:

• Holiday parties — Rosh Hashanah, Purim, Hanukkah, and Passover events, which have scaled up to 500-person Purim parties.
• Museum tours and volunteer trips — lower-key, daytime social formats for meeting people around a shared activity.
• Summer Sessions and a three-day adult summer camp weekend in the Poconos — seasonal formats outside the standard Friday-night rhythm.

Manhattan-specific scheduling for each of these formats is confirmed and updated on this page as events are booked. [OWNER: CONFIRM WHICH OF THE ABOVE FORMATS ARE CURRENTLY SCHEDULED IN MANHATTAN VS. OTHER NYC BOROUGHS OR CITIES, AND LIST SPECIFIC UPCOMING DATES/VENUES HERE.]

How to Get In This Weekend

There's no public RSVP or ticket line. The process is the same for every format:

1. Apply to join the list. Fill out the interest form so we know to send you application links as Manhattan events go live.
2. Apply to a specific event. Each dinner, mixer, or party has its own application link — that's what actually reserves a spot.
3. Follow @shabbatclub on Instagram. New events, guest lists, and event photos go up there first, so it's the fastest way to catch a Manhattan night before applications close.

We read every application ourselves — there's no algorithm sorting the list.
