Tables seat from 9 to 12 Shabbaton guests and a hard-working, all-volunteer Seating Committee works diligently to match tablemates. They will make every effort to satisfy seating requests, but cannot guarantee that every request will be fulfilled. To ensure that you are able to sit with friends, we suggest that you purchase a whole table and invite friends to join you. We call this being a “Table Captain,” and you can click here to learn how it works.
