What people are saying...
“I've been super impressed with each box. Instructions are thorough and I appreciate the photos and videos. My six year old loves everything about it.”
“It's amazing to see my daughter set the table with her Shabbat box and get excited about new rituals each week!”
“We love that challah dough, candles and juice comes with the Shabbox. I think those items have made it more likely for us to make our Friday night meal a Shabbat dinner and not just a regular meal.”

Frequently asked questions
When and where do we pick up the Shabbox crates?
The Shabbox crates can be picked up on the first Thursday of each month from either 8-9 am or 4-6 pm from your local Shabbox Partner organization. You will receive an email from them within 24 hours of your order (or the next business day.) You can contact them directly with any questions about pickup.
What if we cannot get one of the crates?
If you are not available to pick up one of your Shabbox crates you can either gift it to a friend and let them pick it up in your place or ask your Shabbox partner organization to hold yours until the following month (or a different date.)
Can I have my Shabbox shipped?
Unfortunately, because the crates contain perishable items we are only offering them for in person pick up. You can contact your local Shabbox partner to see if they can arrange delivery. You will receive their contact information after your order is placed.
Can I order just 1 Shabbox crate?
We are currently only offering the full subscription of all 7 crates.
Will one crate be enough for multiple children?
The Shabbox crates are designed to make a special Shabbat craft for 1 child and we recommend ordering 1 per child. With that said, there will be extra materials with each crate so you could purchase extra supplies to supplement what you receive in the Shabbox crates to allow multiple children to make their own crafts. All of the print and video instructions are available for you to do them on your own.
What is the ideal age for the Shabbox?
The Shabbox is ideal for children ages 5-12. Younger children (as young as 2) can absolutely do all the crafts but will need extra help from an adult or older sibling.
