In-Person Onegs

Following our monthly in-person Shabbat Services, we celebrate at the Oneg afterparty with food and wine, a chance to socialize, and hear amazing live music from The Shul Band.

 

Any reason is a good reason to sponsor an Oneg! Perhaps you are marking a special event (a birth, baby-naming, engagement, wedding, anniversary, graduation, B'mitzvah, etc.) or you want to remember a loved one in a special way, or celebrate a new job, or a return to health… or any reason that matters to you. We welcome you to sponsor an Oneg and take part in this community affirming experience.

​

If you are an Oneg sponsor at an in-person service you’ll be given the opportunity to light the Shabbat candles (if you wish) and to briefly tell the congregation what you are celebrating.

Virtual Onegs for Zoom Services

If your preferred date falls on a Zoom Shabbat, you can sponsor a Virtual Oneg by making a Virtual Oneg donation. Your sponsorship will be announced at the service and you will have the opportunity to light the Shabbat candles (if you wish) and briefly tell the congregation what you are celebrating.

Oneg Guidelines

Foods to consider: Easily served savory and sweet finger foods such as: cheese & crackers; hummus & pita; nuts; raw veggies; cookies; pretzels; chips; dried fruits; fresh fruits, almost anything, really. Kosher food is not required.

 

And if you can't do the shopping, you may make an Oneg donation to cover the cost of the food and drink and we will do the shopping.

We’re happy to talk with you to help you judge quantities, discuss options and help you plan. For more information contact: board@theshulofnewyork.org.
