About this episode
On this final episode of Shabbat Dinner Party, we have the real dinner.
First, Neil Spears talks about how when we go somewhere over and over, we become known.
Then, Gefelteria’s Jeffrey Yoskowitz and Liz Alpern put the final touches on their Shabbat dinner, and teach us about a dinnertime ritual where everyone touches the challah and we connect to break bread together.
Finally, Kate works up the courage to have a real-life Shabbat dinner table.
