Join Jewish Vegan Life and J Los Angeles for a joyful, family-friendly Shabbat gathering centered on food, Jewish tradition, and community.

Together with J Los Angeles, the Mid-City Jewish Community Center, we’re creating a welcoming vegan Shabbat experience where we can gather around our shared values and enjoy an evening together.

Bring your own dinner and join us for Shabbat blessings, music, dancing, arts and crafts, and time to connect. Vegan challah and dessert will be provided.

This event is normally $20 per family, but thanks to our partnership with J Los Angeles, it is free for the JVL community.

What to Expect

• Shabbat blessings together
• Your own vegan dinner shared with the community
• Vegan challah and dessert
• Music and dancing
• Arts and crafts for children and families
• Time to meet neighbors and build community
• A welcoming space to explore the connection between Jewish tradition, food, and our values
