So find a cozy spot, text some friends and/or family to join in, and we’ll see you there.

Here’s how you might set the den vibes mood from wherever you’re zooming:

1. Set the mood and get cozy:

   • Dim the lighting, or find a spot outside

   • Pull out some tapestries, blankets, floor pillows – have fun!

   • We’ll have a havdalah set – but if you have one you want to use when the time comes – bring it out (don’t have a “set” – all you need is: cup of wine, spices (cinnamon or nutmeg), and a candle)

2. Put out some delish snacks and drinks

   • Just like at our in person Den Vibes gatherings, we’re always sure to put out a fun spread of snacks and drinks to enjoy before and after havdalah. Why should this night be any different? Whether you warm up a slice of pizza or put out a bowl of your favorite ice cream, you’re invited to linger after havdalah to schmooze over some great snacks and drinks.

3. Text your friends

   • Invite friends or family to join the call – the more the merrier! Our virtual Den can hold everyone.
