About Shabbat Dinner: A Night of Strength — YJP & JNFuture Collaboration

This September, we’re levelling up.

This is not your standard YJP Friday night – this exclusive, intimate Shabbat experience brings together world-class presenters, an open cocktail bar, and a fully catered menu for a night of inspiration, connection, and strength.

Join us as we hear firsthand accounts of courage, resilience, and the power of rebuilding from four extraordinary voices from Israel.

✨ Your Incredible Presenters
