Shabbat/Havdalah Babayit 

      ("Shabbat/Havdalah in the Home") 

                  Young Adult Edition!

As a way to further build our young adult community here at B'nai Havurah, we wanted to modify our Shabbat/Havdalah Babayit model to make an approachable "come as you are" space for young people to experience Jewish community together- all while in the home of another Jewish young adult. We define young adults as anyone 45 and younger. Each gathering will include Shabbat blessings or havdalah, fabulous company, and a meal to share. You are invited to register to attend for the first ever Young Adult Shabbat/Havdalah Babayit below!

This program will continue for with one gathering a month for 3-4 months, as is always open to adjustments as needed. We are currently seeking hosts! Please see the outlines for hosting below.

HOSTING
 

What we ask for from hosts:

• Have room for at least 8 people
• Provide space to do Shabbat blessings/do havdalah, and host may add additional programming if wanted
• Provide some level of food and drinks (but funding is available and staff will by providing wine and paper goods)

• Be prepared to welcome people they do not know into their home

The host gets to decide:

• If they want to have any additional theme or activities at their event
• If they want to allow kids to come
• If they want to have shabbat dinner or havdalah and which date they prefer
• How they want the event to be advertised and if they want to communicate with possible attendees directly or have it go through staff

ATTENDING

What we ask for from guests:

• Do not bring any additional people with you beyond who you register for
• Have a genuine interest in the B'nai Havurah community
• Bring an item to contribute to the meal if requested by the host
• Come in with an open mind and a want to meet new people

INCLUSIVITY
We include and celebrate all of our community members. Some homes may not be fully accessible to those who use a cane or wheelchair.  Also, not all community members have a means of transportation to dinner. If you have questions regarding the accessibility of a home or need a lift, don't hesitate to contact Hannah at youthandfamily@bnaihavurah.org.

Dinner One
Young Adult Shabbat Babayit - Littleton
Friday, January 17 – 6:00 pm

We are a young couple interested in Torah study, lively discussions about ethics, and ways to deepen our Jewish practice through both study and action. When we are not working, we enjoying hiking, skiing, photography, reading, and biking. We also have two dogs, who we love to take in as many of our adventures as possible. 

We will be serving a vegetarian or pescatarian menu, and would like our guests to bring either a side dish, salad, dessert, or wine to our dinner.  

There are small parking lots and street spaces available by our house. All spots are available for guest parking. Both our front door and garage entrance have two small steps, so anyone with a cane or a walker could safely enter, but not a wheelchair. If you have accessibility concerns, please let us know so we can use the garage entrance, as this is a shorter walk. Our front door is on the east side of our home, opposite of the garage. Finally, our dogs are a friendly and energetic large breed, so our dinner is best attended by those comfortable with dogs in the room.

*Due to the large dogs, this event is for adults and kids 10+ only*

Please note:   In an effort to balance the attendence of current B'nai members with non members, there may be limits to the number of registrants from either group of people. If you see that the registration is closed and you would like to attend, please contact Hannah at youthandfamily@bnaihavurah.org to be placed on a waitlist.
