See You On Shabbos is a free and safe Jewish hospitality site which helps connect guests and hosts using pictures, profiles, maps and locations from around the world.

 

Families who wish to host, set up profile pages with basic information and up to four family pictures. In addition, each page has a guest book, which allows the guest to offer feedback from the experience and gives the potential guest a better idea of what it’s like to spend a Shabbos with that family. This will also indicate to a potential guest where the "happening" Shabbos homes are and encourage them to seek an invite.

 

Each guest also fills out a profile page so the host can acquaint themselves with the potential guest. Two references are requested so that the host will feel comfortable inviting his "future friend" into his home.

 

Guests can find a host by searching the pages by country, state and city. There are other search fields as well which will allow the guest to find the perfect host with whom they would feel comfortable spending the Shabbos. They can then contact the family to make arrangements using the contact information provided.

 

There are currently nearly 5000 people/families signed up on the site from nearly 700 cities in nearly 40 countries around the world.
