Shabbat clusters.jpgFamily Shabbat Clusters are groups of 3-4 families who get together monthly for an informal potluck Shabbat dinner, a Shabbat afternoon playdate, or a Shabbat lunch.  This a great, casual way to get to know more Jewish families with children in the DC metro area. Families sign up and share information about different ways they would like to celebrate Shabbat. We at the DCJCC will pair you up with families that have similar interests, geographical location, and ages of children. Then, once a month a small group of families get together to experience Shabbat in the best way for your cluster.  We welcome all kinds of families including interfaith and non-Jewish families interested in exploring Shabbat in a safe, joyful, family focused environment.

 All participants who register for Shabbat clusters will be placed into groups that will meet at Shabbat Cluster Kick-Off dinner on March 4th from 6:00-7:00 pm. Then, families will meet once a month from April-June. They will function very much like our Shabbat Clusters for young professionals, which you can read up on here.
