From Shabbat

[edit] Tell us what you think about Wikishabbat

-So as you can see, the first time went so well that I decided to host a Shabbat dinner again, but this time with Ellie Fink, and it was super fun!! We cooked an amazing dairy dinner. We also watched "Yossi & Jagger" -- what can be better than Kosher food and an Israeli movie on the same night?? Thanks again!!!

Mila

-I think it went really well and that my guests enjoyed too, because they even stayed for an Israeli movie! I want to thank the family who donates the money, it is an awesome deed, and a chance for many people who don't go to Hillel to hang out with Jewish student, and to have a Jewish experience even if they don't go to Hillel or are a part of a congregation. I loved it! Thank you !!

Mila

-I think it's a great idea! Also, it was MY idea. My great idea!

Rafi Samuels-Schwartz

-Please tell me that you came up with this idea. It's AWESOME! It might be the coolest thing I've ever heard.

Brad Serber

-My Shabbat experience was meaningful and full of lots of delicious chicken and good times. But better then any chicken was the warmth and friendship around the table.

Anon.

- I really appreciated the concept. My family is anything but observant so it was meaningful for me to see how others (besides Hillel) might celebrate Shabbat. I would definitely be interested in participating again, perhaps even hosting. I think it is a fantastic idea, however I wish that more people had hosted and that more had been able to join in. -I went to Bryan's home, and had a wonderful time meeting his friends and partaking in a joint experimental Shabbat with discussion about the meaning of heritage and identity. I had a lot of fun and food (which was delicious--check out the sweet potato recipe!) and I encourage everyone to go.

Eve

-I'm planning an event for next week thanks to wikishabbat!

Sara

-The only thing that could have made it better would be Rafi agreeing to SHAVE HIS BEARD.

Brad

-AEPi WikiShabbat was so good that I came over with apples for everyone.

Celebrity Guest Star Hersch Berman

-I had almost thirty people attend my dinner. Several of the Jews who attend my Lutheran school were able to attend, and we had a bunch of people who got to learn what Shabbat is...and eat a lot of good food. Everyone really appreciated the dinner, and there was even one Jewish student who said it was his first Shabbat dinner ever.
