Setting the Next Course: 2022-2025 Strategic Plan

SETTING THE NEXT COURSE 2022-2025 STRATEGIC PLAN

Updated October 27, 2022

OneTable’s strategic plan, “Setting the Next Course,” grows from a love of iteration and delight in the rich Jewish tradition of table metaphors!

The 16th Century Sephardic scholar, Rabbi Joseph Caro, derived a code of Jewish law from the Talmud in a collection called the Shulchan Aruch, literally “Set Table.”

Rabbi Caro’s colleague, Ashkenazi Talmud scholar, Rabbi Moshe Isserlis, added his own interpretation of the Shulchan Aruch and named it, aptly, Ha-Mapah, literally “The Tablecloth.”

Each layer invites a deeper understanding and personal connection to our tradition and guiding principles.

I love OneTable and I get such joy out of attending my friends' gatherings and seeing them flourish in their own spaces.

OneTable enables that.

Overview

INTRODUCTION Just as Shabbat anchors us in time, creating an opportunity for weekly rest and renewal, the planning process to further develop and sharpen our strategy is anchored in reflection.

Leaning into our entrepreneurial roots and taking note of the shifting needs in the American Jewish landscape, we have leveraged our expertise by white labeling our technology for other organizations, leading to meaning and connection for tens of thousands more.

We are at the forefront of making Jewish rituals and gatherings accessible and welcoming. And, our expertise in grassroots community-building, stellar customer service, and human-centered design are sought after. We lead the field technologically, offering a platform and set of rich Jewish resources that provide structure to people without being prescriptive, while also unlocking the potential of other organizations in the ecosystem. We are thought leaders in our research, regularly learning from our participants via qualitative and quantitative measures.

Since 2014, more than 180,000 people have made indelible connections at over 80,000 OneTable Shabbat dinners.

We are now faced with the question: how might we shift to a longer-term strategy that builds on our strengths and enables us to grow sustainably to meet ever-evolving challenges?

This plan lays out the strategies to set the next course.

WHY WE ARE SHABBAT CENTRIC "More than the Jews have kept Shabbat, Shabbat has kept the Jews."

- Ahad Ha'am

In Jewish tradition, the world is created in an evolution of seven days: six days of work that culminate in the seventh day, Shabbat, a day of rest. Shabbat is not a postscript, it is as important a part of bringing the world into being as any of the days of active creativity.

Judaism teaches that we, human beings, are responsible for continuing the work of creation to make the world a better place, day after day, week after week. The essence of Shabbat isn’t about that one day, it’s about what we can do on the other six if we take the time to end our week with intention on Friday night. And at OneTable, everything we do is rooted in the ancient and powerful wisdom of Shabbat.

Shabbat dinner is an essential invitation into Jewish life.

Our Mission: OneTable encourages Jewish young adults to explore the celebration and enduring practice of Friday night Shabbat dinner as an opening to Jewish meaning, joy, and connection.

Our Values: These three values, essential to Shabbat, inform everything we do:

‫עונג‬

JOY ‫הכנסת אורחים‬

THE ONETABLE STORY In just eight years, OneTable has grown from a small startup into one of the largest, most successful interventions for young Jewish adults in the United States.

OUR HISTORY More OneTable Shabbat Dinners Every Year NATIONAL SHABBAT DINNERS

In 2014, The Paul E. Singer Foundation and the Steinhardt Foundation for Jewish Life combined efforts to launch a new organization designed to engage a generation of Jewish young adults through the practice of Shabbat. The OneTable brand launched in 2015, followed by the social dining platform in 2016 and an iOS app in 2017.

Following a period of rapid growth, it became clear that our model of peer 0 2015 2016 engagement, unique resources, and market-leading digital platform was working and catching on.

2021

In March 2020, OneTable understood how vital Shabbat could be in helping young adults feel grounded and connected, especially in a global pandemic. We introduced new ways to participate in Shabbat, including solo and virtual Shabbat dinners. As a result, our dinner numbers doubled, from 200 to more than 400 dinners per week.

In 2021, we nourished 30,000 Shabbat dinners alone. The launch of OneTable Live and our PAUSE video series generated over 700,000 views. Finally, shifting communal needs during the pandemic allowed us to test out a few possible expansions of our technology and programs (Seder2020, HereFor.com) and to meet the needs of people beyond our core demographic.

THE CHALLENGES THAT CONTINUE TO DRIVE US Growing dissociation from Judaism

Epidemic of loneliness, isolation, and addiction to technology

41% of those under the age of 30 say they are Jews of “no religion." 1

More than half of Millennials viewed 2 themselves as lonely even before COVID-19.

2. UCLA Loneliness Study.

DID YOU KNOW?

More than half of OneTable participants say they met somebody new at their dinner and 80% of participants became closer with people.

ONETABLE.ORG/RESEARCH

I host Shabbat dinners with OneTable because I want to create new relationships with folks in my Jewish community, welcoming people who are new to my city, just as I was once welcomed.

I also want to continue to feel connected to my Jewish practice.

OneTable provides so much flexibility...which makes it easy for me to plan a Shabbat with candles, blessings, and chicken soup, and another with Moscow mules, sushi, and loud music.

OneTable is built to scale –

OUR IMPACT GOES SO MUCH FARTHER. "Craving Connection," a recent study of 3,000 young adults by Benenson Strategy Group (BSG), validates the intention and success behind the OneTable model: merging Jewish experiences with deep and fulfilling 1,2 social connections.

OneTable is effectively enabling participants to deepen Jewish learning and practice, while forming strong social connections, and we're doing this at scale.

1-in-3 PARTICIPANTS

seek new Jewish 3 rituals, organizations, or communities.

1-in-4 PARTICIPANTS

have already integrated a new Jewish ritual into their life.

While there are many ways to engage with Jewish community, this research confirms the outsized role that Shabbat plays in determining healthy and successful Jewish outcomes.

In addition to effectively helping young adults develop and deepen Jewish practice, OneTable participation also translates into greater social connection – an essential component of our impact.

45% OF HOSTS

have celebrated other Jewish holidays more often since their first OneTable dinner.

OneTable participants are

3X less likely to experience feelings of emotional loneliness

when compared to Jewish young adults who have never attended a OneTable dinner.

I always see lighting the candles as a way to bring light into the home, and I think OneTable is another way to bring more light into the world by bringing people together to enjoy Shabbat.

– OneTable Impact Survey Response, 12/2021

DID YOU KNOW? 74% of guests who rarely celebrated Shabbat before OneTable said their Shabbat experience made them feel less lonely.

Community is the human expression of Divine love.

It is where I am valued simply for who I am, how I live and what I give to others. It is the place where they know my name.

– Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks z"l

12

2022 - 2025

ASPIRATIONAL GOALS Rising disassociation from Judaism, and a dearth of meaningful social connection, makes Rabbi Sacks's vision of community and belonging even more compelling and drives us toward these aspirational goals:

BUILD A MOVEMENT The OneTable family of offerings will be ubiquitous and strongly associated with Shabbat and community-building through peer engagement.

ENRICH THE EXPERIENCE We will drive a significant and positive shift in the way Jewish adults and their communities experience and embrace the ritual of Shabbat.

GROW OUR INTERNAL CAPACITY We will have the resources (financial, technical, and professional) required to sustain this growth making OneTable a trusted investment for Jewish engagement.

13

EXPANDED FAMILY OF OFFERINGS To achieve our goals, we are growing to three distinct offerings.

GROW EXPONENTIALLY

OneTable "Core" OneTable Core – our "challah and butter" – is designed to enable Jewish adults, 21 to 39ish, to gather with one another for Shabbat dinner and Seder.

GO-TOMARKET

Powered By OneTable Powered By OneTable customizes and licenses OneTable's technology platform and peer engagement strategy for other organizations who share our commitment to social connectedness.

*Working Title, Formerly referred to as OneTable Plus

DESIGN + TEST

Together @OneTable* Together @OneTable will allow us to test the OneTable.org platform (i.e.

Shabbat dinners) with other populations who need ways to connect just as much as young adults.

14

WHAT MAKES OUR OFFERINGS

UNIQUE OneTable's unique value proposition is the interconnection of these essential ways of being:

HUMAN-CENTERED We use a data-driven approach to center the ever-evolving needs of participants.

We make ongoing adaptations to our technology platform so that it is delightful for frontend and backend users.

INTENTIONAL

D.I.Y.

We believe intention is a prerequisite for meaningmaking, and invite people to engage their peers through practices that are personally meaningful to them.

We empower individuals to step up and design their own gatherings, engaging their peers through easy-to-use structures without being prescriptive.

Our Jewish learning resources and technology platform are designed to enable participants to be thoughtful about their reason for engaging.

Peer engagement enables organic, efficient growth, allowing for impact and scale.

15

TO BUILD A MOVEMENT, WE AIM TO: 1

Engage 10% of Jewish young adults in America (~140,000) – annually – to build meaningful social connections and become producers of their own authentic Jewish practice over their lifetimes (at least 75% of whom would not otherwise engage with Shabbat).2 Engage at least 50,000 Jewish adults beyond our core demographic – annually – through new offerings that leverage our peer engagement model and technology platform.

Enable client organizations to grow annual engagements by at least 20% through our peer engagement model and technology platform.

TO ENRICH THE EXPERIENCE, WE AIM TO: Inspire at least 50% of hosts to feel more confident in creating a sacred Shabbat space, leading ritual, and inviting others through accessible Jewish learning resources and amplification of peer-to-peer modeling.

Ensure at least 80% of guests deepen their social connections.

3

Complete rigorous research into the practice of Shabbat as a means for human flourishing, identifying key elements that elevate the experience, and adding new, valuable measures for Jewish engagement to the field at large.

TO GROW OUR INTERNAL CAPACITY, WE AIM TO: Develop an organizational structure that is is best suited to achieve our growth goals, e.g. identify missing skill sets, recruit, retain, and provide a framework for accountability and pathways for growth for a stellar professional team.

Ensure a top-notch technology platform, measured through user-feedback (e.g. Net Promoter Score), that enables connections and generates income through licensing fees and philanthropic investments, contributing meaningfully to both our capabilities and financial resources.

Build relationships with dedicated investors, successfully secure multi-year, multi-million dollar investments, and grow our support from individuals by 25%.

1. Grounded in the Theory of Critical Mass, a behavioral tipping point is the threshold at which a behavior is well on its way to becoming a social norm (Centola et al. 2018). The threshold varies based on the behavior (it's estimated to start at 10-40%). – Psychology Today, June 11, 2020.

2. The findings from the OneTable 2021 Impact Survey serve as a baseline for enrichment and engagement goals.

3. OneTable and CASJE have been awarded a 3-year research grant from the Templeton World Charity Foundation to study the connection between Shabbat dinner and human flourishing through social connectedness.

16

WHAT EXPONENTIALLY INCREASED ENGAGEMENT LOOKS LIKE Over the next 3.5 years, OneTable's combined efforts will generate a total of 1,500,000 engagements by growing aggressively year over year.

Through our unique combination of human-centered design, intentionality, and DIY approach, you can see the enormous potential of our impact and growth in the years to come.

HOW WE PLAN TO GET THERE To get started, we asked why people are not yet participating in OneTable.

1

We learned that, had respondents known about OneTable, most (70%) would participate.

Helping people discover OneTable is critical to reaching our goals.

1. Amplify our brand Drawing on our start-up mentality, we will reinvest in go-to-market strategies, through social channels, brand partnerships, earned and paid media, Jewish learning videos, podcasts and more.

2. Optimize our network Deploying our staff, advisors, faculty, super-users and partners strategically to maximize our presence in large and small markets, so that there's always a face to OneTable regardless of where you live, or how you are engaging with OneTable.

3. Remove barriers to participation When asked, the 30% of the comparison group who were not interested in participating shared concerns about the pandemic, being too busy, or they were not interested in spending time with strangers.

Add this to the inherent challenges in adopting new ritual habits. We will use this (and more) data to design new features to address these and unforeseen barriers.

Institutional giving, including Jewish Federations across North America, accounts for 85% of OneTable's support with the remaining 15% committed from individual donors.

As we grow, we will sustain our critical institutional support and diversify our revenue stream to include more individual donors – encouraging all members of the Jewish community to be part of OneTable's impact.

Additionally, we will implement grassroots fundraising efforts to engage our OneTable participants in the act of paying forward the gift of OneTable they received.

1. Institutional Support Deepen foundation support from current and new institutional funders

2. Federation Partnerships Increase support from Federations beyond allocation process

3. Individual Giving Program Build upon the major donor program at all levels, standardizing communications and stewardship, and establishing giving levels at five, six, and seven figures

4. Powered By OneTable Revenue In addition to generating meaningful income from licensing fees, cultivate existing and prospective philanthropists excited about this expansion

24

WITH THANKS The growing impact of OneTable is only possible because of your ongoing support. We invite you to join us in this work to support and inspire current generations of Jewish adults.

This strategic plan was made possible by generous support from the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Philanthropies, Crown Family Philanthropies, and the support of OneTable’s Board of Directors.

Finally, we thank our strategic planning staff team and Third Plateau for a remarkable job in leading us through this process.

ONETABLE CORE

THEORY OF CHANGE

WHAT OneTable is designed to encourage Jewish young adults to explore the celebration and enduring practice of Shabbat dinner as an opening to Jewish meaning, joy, and connection, becoming active producers of Jewish life.

HOW HUMAN-CENTERED Using data-driven, humancentered approach to help elevate Shabbat dinners.

INTENTIONAL

DIY

Inviting people to be thoughtful about each element of hosting.

Providing an online platform for young adults to connect with others and design their own Shabbat dinners.

SO THAT...

Young adults develop the confidence and agency to craft their own Shabbat dinners and to shape an enduring Shabbat practice. Through Shabbat, young adults are more connected to people, rituals, and resources that are meaningful to them.

THE CHANGE WE SEEK A new and capable generation, nourished by the wisdom of Shabbat*, is more prepared to lead the future of Jewish life and community. *By the "wisdom of Shabbat" we are referring to the benefits of pause, a sense of connection, humility, radical rest, links to ancestors, and a taste of the world to come.

TOGETHER @ONETABLE*

STRATEGIC QUESTIONS

As we test the Together @OneTable concept, some of the key questions we will explore are: What have we learned from OneTable Core that is applicable to people in other age groups and life stages?

What type of field-level support will our new Together @OneTable users want and need?

How can we be of service to older age groups in a way that enhances – rather than confuses – OneTable's brand?

Could Together @OneTable generate revenue, from individual users as well as targeted grants?

What is holding older generations back from building the Shabbat practice they want, and how can we help them leverage our tools and resources to best meet their needs? *Working Title, Formerly referred to as OneTable Plus

Why is our initial test of Together @OneTable focused on older adults?

There is a growing awareness of the needs of the actively aging population whose institutional affiliation is waning even while their interest in building new skills and forging new ties is 1 increasing.

A recent study of the Los Angeles Jewish community revealed: 25% of Jewish adults ages 55-64 are minimally involved in the Jewish community Only 23% mark Shabbat weekly or almost weekly 1. 2021 Study of Jewish LA

MARKET RESEARCH

I am confident OneTable's model can be applied to this demographic without much change. The key is reaching older adults and engaging some early adopters to test it out.

This person [who would participate in Together @OneTable] looks like me – I just moved to a new community. It’s so wonderful to live near my grandkids but they aren’t my whole life. I’ve just met a few leaders of the Jewish community and am looking to expand my community. A OneTable supported experience sounds right for me!

— TOBY RUBIN Founder and former CEO, UpStart Together Design Sprint attendee

I love OneTable, I have hosted in Birmingham and Oahu. The idea of Together @OneTable is cool. It would not change my experience with OneTable, because what matters to me is who's around my table. If I found out that my parents were using it, I'd be impressed with their tech savvy!

OneTable has given me the opportunity to explore what Shabbat means to me and has forever created a positive impact by opening my world to endless possibilities of connecting to Shabbat in a spirited, social, and religious way.

I am forever grateful for the resources and support that OneTable has afforded me to gather with friends across the US and share in Shabbat rituals wherever I am.
