Dedicate a Lunch & Learn

אֲבָל שְׁלֹשָׁה שֶׁאָכְלוּ עַל שֻׁלְחָן אֶחָד וְאָמְרוּ עָלָיו דִּבְרֵי תוֹרָה, כְּאִלּוּ אָכְלוּ מִשֻּׁלְחָנוֹ שֶׁל מָקוֹם

[Those] who eat at one table and speak words of Torah, it is as if they have eaten at G‑d's table.
- Pirkei Avot, 3:3

Our weekly Lunch & Learn gatherings are a central part of life at the Teen House - moments of connection, conversation, and Jewish growth shared over a meal.

2026 Lunches are held Mondays and Thursdays of the week listed.

If you prefer to specify a particular lunch during the week (e.g., "5/7 for Steve Rosen's birthday"), please note it in the space below.

You can dedicate a lunch in honor of a birthday, graduation, yahrzeit, or other meaningful occasion. Your dedication will be shared with our CTeen community and help make these experiences possible.

Thank You to our New Lunch Supporters!
