I would like to spend a shabbat with hassidim , I am very lonely on Shabbat (all by myself) anyone have any info?
I have lots of friends but not are religious
Thanks

Aren't you a member of a local community ? You're not alone when you attend services, plus hospitality is a well known mitzva on shabbat and if the community's members are true Jews, they will invite you.

Im shy , no one knows who I am really , I sit in the back.

I would suggest locating your nearest Chabad center. Every Shabbat they have services and host a meal for the community. It is a very good experience...
Try it.... They wont force anything on you..

There's got to be someone in your local community who you can talk to about your problem. I understand it might not be easy for you if you are shy, so try and find someone gentle and considerate. Ometz ! It's too bad you are left alone like that... Social events regularly take place in Jewish communities that provide an opportunity for you to meet fellow Jews.

Find a local Chabad...there are no group of Jews that are warm and welcoming as them. They will never let you be alone on Shabbat.

Find your local Chabad via this site:

That is a Good idea , I know the Rabbi of the Chabad by me he is the warmest Rabbi I ever met , Im just sad he feels the Rebbe is still alive and is the Messiah. I will admit , that concept makes me a little uneasy. Should get past it or go to another chabad. Thoughts welcome.
And thanks for all the responses.

Oh, Im very sorry...
No, you should not have to be involved in a minyan which may be doing avodah zarah.
Have you tried seeing about any Modern Orthodox in your area. I also know a Modern Orthodox Rabbi who I just spoke with last week. He is coming to my neighborhood for Shavuot...

It's not really "his problem," a better word is "his situation." It can be hard to find good people to spend time with.
