BIG TABLE HAVDALA is happening on SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21 in Oakland!

We chose the name BIG TABLE HAVDALA for a reason. We are setting a truly BIG TABLE where three worlds come together: Asian Jews, local Jewish leaders, and a grassroots prayer, care, and support group led by pastor and counselor Apostle Deborah Fowler.

Months of shared planning are now culminating in this very special night, after a chance conversation sparked by the friendship between Apostle Fowler and a LUNAR member. Rooted in Altadena, a historic center of African American life recently impacted by the fires, our special interfaith guests are a growing community active across Los Angeles County.

We chose to center the night on great conversation, great food, and the beauty of HAVDALA. With an unforgettable Asian Jewish welcome and our signature LUNAR culinary creativity, take a seat at our BIG TABLE and enjoy a bountiful dinner and fantastic new connections.

What about Lunar New Year?

Lunar New Year takes place just a few days before BIG TABLE HAVDALA, and we are excited to bring this as an education component in our HAVDALA dinner.

What is the menu?

Dinner is vegetarian. Dairy is served separately. Gluten-free and nut-free options will be available. Wine and non-alcoholic drinks will be provided.

What do we talk about?

Feel welcome to talk about whatever matters to you, from everyday life to big ideas. This is a BIG TABLE.

Do I need to be an Asian Jew to attend?

This event is open to Asian Jews and any guests they would like to invite. This is a mixed table by design.
