We are committed to making the Sabbath Queen Community Feast available to people across class and economic access. To support this commitment, we have devised a sliding scale reflective of the cost of ingredients and labor.

$35 – Angel assisted pricing for artists, educators, seniors and those who really need it
$45 – Covers the cost of one Shabbat dinner
$55 – Helps to subsidize a Shabbat dinner for someone else
