Shabbat Clusters 2.0

We want you to connect to Shabbat and your community however you feel most comfortable. In the past, groups have had Shabbat lunch on Saturday afternoon, done an activity after Friday night dinner, or had dinners at a restaurant, beer garden, or park.

If you would like to meet people with similar interests, then the Shabbat Cluster interest groups are a great option for you. In the past, interest groups have included couples (including interfaith couples), outdoors, arts, community service, foodies, and LGBTQ community members. We encourage our interest groups to meet outside of Shabbat potlucks either virtually or for outdoor socially-distanced activities.

Each Cluster is assigned a Cluster Coordinator or two who will contact the group and help plan details for each meal.

It is okay if you can’t attend every meeting, but it is encouraged!

There is an administrative fee to register for Shabbat Clusters and show everyone’s commit to the program and respecting our Shabbat Cluster coordinators and community members’ time and effort to make this a successful program. If this cost of this program is in any way prohibitive to your participation, please get in touch.

Each individual person must have a separate registration form.

We would love to put you in a cluster with your friend! There is a section in the registration form to request this. Please make sure that both of you fill this out in order for the request to be considered. We will do our best to fulfill all requests.

The deadline ensures we will have enough time to organize the groups before the program begins. Registration will re-open after the kick-off event. Please reach out to us to inquire about rolling registration.

If you are having trouble signing into the system or registering for Shabbat Clusters, please email info@edcjcc.org.

If you have questions about the program, don’t know what group to join, or want to change your answers after you’ve registered, please email Stacy.
