Bringing Jewish people together around the world
safely and securely
At LOCAL-IL, we believe every Jewish person deserves to feel at home, wherever they are. That’s why we built a safe, privacy-first space with verified members, so you can open your table or pull up a chair for free Shabbat and Holiday dinners and know you’re among friends.
Beyond the table, our marketplace spotlights Jewish-owned businesses that keep our communities thriving.
Join our community of Jewish people around the globe who share in the joy of traditional Friday and Holiday dinners.
Whether you're looking to host or attend, our platform makes it easy to connect with others who cherish these meaningful gatherings.
Discover a vibrant marketplace of Jewish owned businesses world wide.
Our app provides a dedicated space for local entrepreneurs to showcase their products and services, allowing you to support your community while discovering unique offerings.
At LOCAL-IL,
Your privacy and security are our top priorities!
Hosts’ full addresses are never displayed – only the city and general area.
When someone requests to join a dinner, hosts can read the guest’s bio and chat with them privately before approving the request.
This allows you to feel safe, get to know who’s reaching out, and decide who to host – without sharing personal details too soon.
Behind the scenes, LOCAL-IL uses bank-level encryption and secure cloud infrastructure to protect all personal information.
We’ve also implemented multiple layers of security to monitor and block suspicious activity – so you can focus on building community, while we take care of your safety.
