Shabbat Kit for our
Friendship Circle Families!


Shabbat is a time of rest and tranquility. Even though we're not able to invite our friends over for a Shabbat Dinner right now doesn't mean you should miss out on experiencing the warmth of Shabbat and the feelings of connection that it brings.

That's why we're offering our Friendship Circle Friends, and their families, a uniquely designed Shabbat Set complete with Fresh Challah, Chicken Soup, Shabbat Candles, and other goodies to celebrate Shabbat@Home. 

You can request a Shabbat Set for yourself and/or a friend who could use some Shabbat love. 

Special thanks to the Grafman Family for sponsoring this week's Shabbat Sets in the merit of Yudi Dukes for a complete and speedy recovery.

About Friendship Circle
Friendship Circle is the world’s largest Jewish organization providing programs and services for individuals with special needs and those facing isolation. Through innovative programming, Friendship Circle aims to promote an inclusive community that values the soul of all individuals, regardless of the challenges they face. Today, 91 Friendship Circles around the world support thousands of individuals and their families with the assistance of thousands of dedicated teen volunteers. Many of Friendship Circle’s programs are non-sectarian and open to the entire community

Friendship Circle Responds to COVID-19
Friendship Circle responded to the needs of our community by immediately pivoting to virtual platforms for service delivery while maintaining a personal touch. Just a few examples include using web-based platforms to offer interactive programs, which include social groups and all-day live programming, such as cooking classes, music, storytime, yoga, and art programs. Additionally, we expanded and adapted our flagship Friends@Home program, where teen volunteers connect weekly with children through FaceTime, texts, WhatsApp, and other platforms, among several other weekly or daily programs and services.
