For Jews around the world, particularly those who celebrate Shabbat, Shabbat dinner consists of a meal with family and/or friends every Friday night. If you consistently do it every week though, it may start to get redundant. That’s why we have compiled a short list of ways to spice up your Shabbat dinner so you can look forward to it next Friday night.
Switch Up the Guest List
If you eat with the same people every week, consider switching up the guest list with new people! Invite acquaintances you may want to get to know better, or neighbors, or friends of fiends. You would be amazed over the quality of new connections you can make over a good meal and some wine!
Themed Dinners
Plan your dinner party around a theme and cook with your friends to get the excitement flowing in the air. For this week, try your hand at new and thrilling TikTok recipes, or a Mexican or Indian food themed Shabbat. Their are many fun and creative ways to enjoy dinner with friends, and that involves the cooking aspect!
Games
Play games around the table, or get to know each other by having ice breakers for an interactive dinner experience. This is a great way to get to know your new guests! Once dinner is done, enjoy your wine on the couch and play charades or Settlers of Catan!
