For over 2,000 years, Jewish homes have celebrated the joy of Shabbat (Sabbath) meals. At Shabbat with Friends (SWF), we host a Sabbath meal that shares the origins and meaning of these ancient traditions, fostering fellowship in a time of division.

​

A Sabbath Seder is the ordered ritual of a sacred meal held on Friday evening, Saturday lunch, or late Saturday afternoon. SWF Convener, Rabbi Dov Gartenberg, explains these traditions and offers ways to revive them in your own circle of friends.

​

We welcome people of all backgrounds—anyone curious about this ancient practice of hospitality, spirituality, and conviviality.

​

Taste of Shabbat gatherings are listed on our Calendar/RSVP page and occur regularly throughout the year in Albuquerque or Santa Fe. SWF provides a kosher catered meal for adults, with discounts for children, students, and seniors.
