1.00We booked and paid for the dinner in November but the hosts cancelled the dinner without any notice. We received the update from PELAGO - I think it is very sad that the hosts cancelled without any explanation nor apology. Very disappointed with such hospitality.

Unforgettable Dinner

5.00A dinner we will never forget. Besides the delicious food and the warmth and welcoming atmosphere, you will learn by experience the true meaning and spirit of Shabbat. You will not be a mere guest at a Shabbat's dinner, but you will celebrate Shabbat together with them and this will bring you joy. We both left the dinner with a rare sense of armony and inner peace. Do not leave Jerusalem without celebrating Shabbat at Osnat's Shabbat dinner.

5.00We enjoyed the delightful and joyful singing and fabulous food. Our hosts were so kind and welcoming and provided so much information about Shabbat. Our hearts were encouraged and joyful when we left.
An absolute must do Shabbat dinner with a family! A soul satisfying experience.

5.00Osnat and Rabbi Shaul Youdkevitch are the most welcoming and warm hosts to their Shabbat dinner in their home. It’s held every Friday night at 6pm. You need to book this in time as it gets booked very quickly. Essentially you are participating in the all important Shabbat dinner with a family. The atmosphere is just perfect and the food is all home made and delicious. Osnat and their daughters worked hard to put together a table that was laden with great food and wine. They easily accommodated the food requests we had. Most importantly Rabbi Shaul explained the meaning of the Shabbat, it’s significance and walked us through all our questions on Judaism over more than three hours. Time flew. I would do this every time I’m in Jerusalem again on a Friday. Both Osnat and Rabbi Shaul are warm and we felt right at home. This is a must do when in Jerusalem!! No better way to appreciate the culture.
An Absolute Must Do When in Jerusalem

5.00We have done a few in home dining events in our travels and this one will go down in history as the best. Our first Shabbat experience we could not have had a better opportunity to learn, laugh and dine with this lovely family who so generously welcome strangers into their beautiful home. Do this as a top activity when in Jerusalem. Thank you to Osnat and Rabbi Shaul. Shalom.
