About the evening
A curated evening of Shabbat, community, and connection to Israel.
At JNFuture, we believe some of the most meaningful conversations happen around the Shabbat table.
Young Zionist Shabbat brings together a small group of pro-Israel young professionals for an intimate evening where we’ll enjoy a delicious meal, participate in conversation about Israel and the future of our community, and form friendships with peers who are committed to both. As we gather in the beautiful Westlake home of our generous hosts, we’ll get to hear from a surprise guest speaker, and create space for genuine relationships with others who care deeply about our community and the Jewish homeland.
This evening is also an opportunity to connect directly with the work of Jewish National Fund-USA and JNFuture, a growing network of young leaders committed to making a meaningful impact in Israel and within Jewish communities across the United States.
Whether you’re reconnecting with old friends or meeting new ones for the first time, we hope you’ll leave feeling inspired, connected, and part of something larger than yourself.
Thirty seats. One Shabbat table. Countless connections.
