First Friday

Friday, August 1, 2025
7:30 PM - 10:30 PM

Join us for a monthly Shabbat dinner that pampers the soul, the spirit, and the senses.

First Friday is an intentional pause at the end of a noisy week. We put our phones down, lift our wine glasses up, and show up fully present to welcome Shabbat together.

First Friday features a uniquely themed four-course menu accompanied by signature cocktails, all sorts of vino, and most importantly, the very best company that Raleigh’s young Jewish community has to offer.

Join us–we saved you a seat! No previous Shabbat experience required. 

*This event is for young Jewish professionals aged 22-38
