Shabbat Dinner — Jerusalem
A guided Friday-night dinner in the heart of the eternal city.
As Friday evening falls, Jerusalem slows and the Sabbath begins — and there is no better place to feel it. Join an authentic, guided Friday-night experience in the heart of the eternal city: the Shabbat table explained, a traditional kosher dinner with Israeli flavours, wine and song, and warm conversation about Jerusalem and the meaning of the day. It is far more than a meal — it is an evening of tradition, food and real connection.
