Shabbat/Havdalah Babayit 
("Shabbat/Havdalah in the Home")
Young Adult Edition!
As a way to further build our young adult community here at B'nai Havurah, we wanted to modify our Shabbat/Havdalah Babayit model to make an approachable "come as you are" space for young people to experience Jewish community together- all while in the home of another Jewish young adult. We define young adults as anyone 45 and younger. Each gathering will include Shabbat blessings or havdalah, fabulous company, and a meal to share. You are invited to register to attend for the first ever Young Adult Shabbat/Havdalah Babayit below!
This program will continue for with one gathering a month for 3-4 months, as is always open to adjustments as needed. We are currently seeking hosts! Please see the outlines for hosting below.
HOSTING
What we ask for from hosts:
- Have room for at least 8 people
- Provide space to do Shabbat blessings/do havdalah, and host may add additional programming if wanted
- Provide some level of food and drinks (but funding is available and staff will by providing wine and paper goods)
-
Be prepared to welcome people they do not know into their home
The host gets to decide:
- If they want to have any additional theme or activities at their event
- If they want to allow kids to come
- If they want to host a shabbat dinner or havdalah meal, and which date they prefer
- How they want the event to be advertised and if they want to communicate with possible attendees directly or have it go through staff
ATTENDING
What we ask for from guests:
- Do not bring any additional people with you beyond who you register for
- Have a genuine interest in the B'nai Havurah community
- Bring an item to contribute to the meal if requested by the host
- Come in with an open mind and a want to meet new people
INCLUSIVITY
We include and celebrate all of our community members. Some homes may not be fully accessible to those who use a cane or wheelchair. Also, not all community members have a means of transportation to dinner. If you have questions regarding the accessibility of a home or need a lift, don't hesitate to contact Hannah at youthandfamily@bnaihavurah.org.
Dinner Five
Young Adult Havdalah Babayit -West Wash Park/Speer
Saturday, May 31st – 6:00 pm
We are an interfaith (Jewish and agnostic) couple who enjoy crafting, eating good food, hanging out with animals, and exploring art and culture in Denver. We love throwing a good party, but this will be our first official dinner party.
We will plan on a dairy/pescetarian menu (heavy on the baked items because that's one of our specialties), but can accommodate food limitations/allergies as needed. One of us is allergic to tomatoes and mushrooms, so we understand cooking without some common ingredients.
We have a very friendly kitten who will definitely hang out during dinner. Our apartment is up a flight and a half of carpeted indoor stairs. There is plenty of street parking around our place (just make sure to be ready to parallel park), and we are also close to public transit.
One of us is immunocompromised, so if you are sick or traveling without masking in the week before the dinner, please reach out and cancel.
Due to a lack of a kid appropriate space (our apartment has lots of sharp angles and breakable trinkets!), this gathering is limited to 18+.
Please note: In an effort to balance the attendence of current B'nai members with non members, there may be limits to the number of registrants from either group of people. If you see that the registration is closed and you would like to attend, please contact Hannah at youthandfamily@bnaihavurah.org to be placed on a waitlist.
