Bad experience
We booked and paid for the dinner in November but the hosts cancelled the dinner without any notice. We received the update from PELAGO - I think it is very sad that the hosts cancelled without any explanation nor apology. Very disappointed with such hospitality.

Unforgettable Dinner
A dinner we will never forget. Besides the delicious food and the warmth and welcoming atmosphere, you will learn by experience the true meaning and spirit of Shabbat. You will not be a mere guest at a Shabbat's dinner, but you will celebrate Shabbat together with them and this will bring you joy. We both left the dinner with a rare sense of armony and inner peace. Do not leave Jerusalem without celebrating Shabbat at Osnat's Shabbat dinner.

Exceptional Experience
We enjoyed the delightful and joyful singing and fabulous food. Our hosts were so kind and welcoming and provided so much information about Shabbat. Our hearts were encouraged and joyful when we left.
Response from the operator: Dear Jeffrey, We’re glad to hear that you had a great time with Osnat & Shaul! See you soon at another Eatwith table, either in your hometown or during your travels!

An absolute must do Shabbat dinner with a family! A soul satisfying experience.
Osnat and Rabbi Shaul Youdkevitch are the most welcoming and warm hosts to their Shabbat dinner in their home. It’s held every Friday night at 6pm. You need to book this in time as it gets booked very quickly. Essentially you are participating in the all important Shabbat dinner with a family. The atmosphere is just perfect and the food is all home made and delicious. Osnat and their daughters worked hard to put together a table that was laden with great food and wine. They easily accommodated the food requests we had. Most importantly Rabbi Shaul explained the meaning of the Shabbat, it’s significance and walked us through all our questions on Judaism over more than three hours. Time flew. I would do this every time I’m in Jerusalem again on a Friday. Both Osnat and Rabbi Shaul are warm and we felt right at home. This is a must do when in Jerusalem!! No better way to appreciate the culture.
Response from the operator: Hi, Thank you for writing this amazing review! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your dining experience with Osnat & Shaul. Food has a special way of creating magical moments like this one! We hope to see you soon at another Eatwith table.

Experience Shabbat With Dinner In Jerusalem: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Jerusalem.
How much does Experience Shabbat With Dinner In Jerusalem cost?
+
Prices start at $242 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Jerusalem usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Experience Shabbat With Dinner In Jerusalem take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Jerusalem is not rushed.
Is Experience Shabbat With Dinner In Jerusalem worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Jerusalem, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Experience Shabbat With Dinner In Jerusalem?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Experience Shabbat With Dinner In Jerusalem suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Experience Shabbat With Dinner In Jerusalem?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Jerusalem can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Jerusalem and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Experience Shabbat With Dinner In Jerusalem start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Jerusalem within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Jerusalem?
+
On Outty we rank every Jerusalem experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Jerusalem Boutique Tour from Tel Aviv, Travel to Bethlehem Half Day Guided Tour from Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Dead Sea Day Tour From Jerusalem. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Jerusalem?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Jerusalem?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Experience Shabbat With Dinner In Jerusalem?
+
Included: Israeli wines and soft drinks are included; Multi-course Kosher Shabbat dinner; Experience first hand local culture and cuisine; and An unforgettable moment around the table with other foodies. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Experience Shabbat With Dinner In Jerusalem?
+
The full address will be sent to you once you booked the event. It will be in the 'Before you go section' at the bottom of your booking confirmation. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Experience Shabbat With Dinner In Jerusalem offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Hebrew. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Experience Shabbat With Dinner In Jerusalem?
