What are Tables? What are Real and Virtual Tables?
Shabbat Tables are events that people can organize using the SAA 2.0 site. They can be used to organize real Friday night dinners with friends and family, or to set up virtual events that bring people together on the Web. Virtual Tables are blue and are labeled ‘V’ and Real Tables are Yellow and are labeled ‘R’. At your Virtual Shabbat Table or Real Shabbat Table, you can invite anyone to share in your celebration of Shabbat, however you define it. Real Tables provide an excellent opportunity to organize an in-person, real-life Shabbat experience near you. When you host or attend a Real Shabbat Table, you or your guests will set up a designated location on a specific date, offer to bring real food, drink and ideas, and celebrate Shabbat together Virtual Tables offer you an opportunity to connect with old and new friends, or groups of people that share a common interest (like college classmates or a presidential candidate), and create groups that span the globe.
