OneTable, a nonprofit known for supporting Shabbat dinners, is undergoing significant changes following layoffs and a decline in fundraising. The organization is shifting away from subsidizing home-hosted dinners and introducing new pilot programs, including partnerships with emerging Shabbat clubs and alternative incentives for hosts. OneTable is also formalizing its stance on Israel, barring anti-Israel events and aiming to foster nuanced conversations about Israel at the Shabbat table through collaborations with dialogue-focused organizations.

The changes reflect broader trends in Jewish communal life, with younger generations less inclined to host gatherings at home and philanthropic support increasingly directed toward Israel-related causes. Despite a surge in participation after October 2023, OneTable has struggled to keep pace financially, prompting a renewed focus on young Jews and centralized operations. The organization plans to roll out new initiatives over the coming year, marking a notable shift from its previous model.
