On November 6th, we’ll gather around the globe to honor the life and legacy of Sarah Milgrim z”l — a woman whose warmth, kindness, and love for community touched everyone she met.

Sarah was a beloved member of JWI’s Young Women’s Impact Network (YWIN) and a dear friend to so many. Her compassion and deep love for Israel continue to inspire us every day.

In her memory, we invite you to join Sarah’s Shabbat — a collective moment of peace, reflection, and connection. Around the world, we’ll celebrate the light she brought into the world and carry her spirit forward through community.

When you register, you’ll receive a special resource guide to help you create a meaningful evening.

How to join this meaningful movement:

  • For women ages 20–39: Click here to see the existing dinners and join one in your city OR host your own in partnership with OneTable, an incredible nonprofit collaborating with us to elevate your Shabbat experience.

  • For community members ages 40+: Click here to create your own gathering and join this meaningful movement.

Can’t host or attend a Shabbat dinner? Click here to make a donation in loving memory of Sarah to support our YWIN.

Let’s fill tables around the world with warmth, song, and togetherness — just as Sarah would have wanted.

One more way to connect in honor of Sarah ✨

Join us for a special Sarah’s Shabbat Virtual Challah Bake 🍞with Challah Back Girls and JWI!
Thursday, November 5th at 7 PM ET on Zoom.

Come together in community to braid, bake, and celebrate the spirit of Shabbat while honoring Sarah’s memory and legacy. Come as you are — all are welcome!

You’ll bake along from your own kitchen, so be sure to bring your ingredients. The full ingredient list and recipe will be provided in your registration confirmation email — everything you need to bake with us!
