The largest Shabbat dinner is 2,761, and was organized by The Temple Emanu-El Streicker Centers (USA), in New York, New York, USA, on 21 November 2025.
The event was billed as 'The Big Shabbat' and featured various Jewish celebrities, influencers and entertainers.
The attempt was organized by the Streicker Centers of Temple Emanu-El, the community organizing branch of one of the oldest synagogues in New York City (established 1845). The dinner was hosted place at the Javits Center, transforming the city’s largest convention spaces into a massive Shabbat celebration and party.
The evening combined traditional elements of Shabbat such as blessings, bread, candles, and music, with an atmosphere of festivity designed to highlight the Jewish community.
Dr. Gady Levy, head of the Streicker Center, stated he had been working toward this idea for more than six years.
