Shabbat Dinner 4 Builders & Entrepreneurs
Wine. Challah. Transformers. Torah.
A small Shabbat table for people who spend the week shipping — and want one night that is not a mixer.
This is an invite-only Friday dinner for founders, builders, researchers, and operators working in (or obsessed with) AI. Good food, good wine, and conversation that moves from Shabbat to model evals and back without anyone checking their phone every two minutes.
We’re keeping the guest list tight on purpose. Think people who are building something real, not collecting badges.
✨ What this is
A real Shabbat table: warm, unhurried, a little sacred, a lot of fun
Curated company: founders, operators, researchers, and a few sharp guests from abroad
Open conversation on Judaism, technology, and where AI is taking us next
Networking that happens because the table is good — not because someone handed you a badge
🚫 What this is not
Not a lecture
Not a pitch night
Not a 200-person mixer with warm wine and cold small talk
No decks. No panels. No “quick intros around the room”
👥 Who should request a seat
Founders and operators building with AI
Researchers and senior ICs who care about the questions behind the products
Curious builders who can hold both a Jewish text and a transformer in the same conversation
People who will show up, stay through dessert, and talk like humans
If you’re looking for deal flow first and dinner second, this isn’t it.
🕯️ The vibe Secular-friendly Shabbat energy. Blessings if people want them. No religious test. Bring curiosity and appetite.
Expect the conversation to jump:
What should builders not automate?
What does rest look like in an AI-native company?
Wisdom traditions vs. model incentives
The questions we’ll wish we’d asked earlier
🕰 Flow of the night
🔹 7:00–7:30 Arrive, wine, meet the table
🔹 7:30–7:40 Candles kiddush challah (optional, short, warm)
🔹 7:40–9:30 Dinner + one big conversation at a time
🔹 9:30–10:30 Dessert, lingering, the conversations you actually came for
Exact timing may slide. That’s the point.
