## Caption

Snack Sabbath. (I had the true privilege to write a piece about how hosting Shabbat has shaped my queer and Jewish identities for food52, just in time for Hanukkah. When I first discovered onetableshabbat, I fell in love with this organization, using it to create the queer space my husband and I were craving, which I’ve aptly named #Mensch4Mensch. However, as anti-semitism continues to rise in this scary world and scarier country, it quickly has found greater purpose for me. There has never been a more important time to celebrate Jewish culture. It has nothing to do about religious beliefs or if you believe in a higher power. Attending or hosting Shabbat simply means increasing the visibility of Jewish traditions, while aligning yourself with a marginalized group that needs to see and feel support. Throw in the fact that gathering community to pause and reflect on the week is dope, as well as some great noshes, and you’ve got the reason a Shabbat practice has become so near and dear to me. Thank you to ericjoonho for being such an incredible editor and attending so many of these Shabbats!
